Description
Reissue of Oregon's 2000 double album In Moscow recorded with the Tchaikovsky Symphony Orchestra and featuring Ralph Towner, Paul McCandless and Glen Moore from the original '70s band.
This masterpiece was recorded strictly simultaneously, meaning that the band and the orchestra faced each other in the recording room and played the songs together. No overdubbing each other, no faking a relationship that wasn't there; just recording and mixing with the highest standards of quality. In this respect, Oregon in Moscow combines the best qualities of a live recording with those of a studio production.
Moreover, one can tell by the result that the 'six days in Moscow' must have been an intense and satisfying experience for all those involved, even despite the tough time schedule and demanding recording situation. In the liner notes, producer Steven Rodby describes one exemplary moment as follows: "...the music was soaring, and with its [the take's] conclusion, came stomping feet, bows banging on music stands, applause and shouts. I'll never forget this moment, such as many others which occurred in these six days."
