Russian Classics

Once again, the Saxon Wind Philharmonic under Thomas Clamor unleashes a veritable display of musical fireworks: On their new Geniun album the musicians take us to Russia- and all who are not yet fans of this fantastic ensemble would do well to come along! The recording offers numerous highlights: the syncopations of Shostakovich's Jazz Suite, the fairy tale of Stravinsky's Firebird, Tchaikovsky's buoyant Capriccio Italien and, not least, the fairy tale "Ruslan and Lyudmila." Once again, the Wild Philharmonic's overwhelming splendor and captivating virtuosity are impressive.
