  • Description

    Kirill Kondrashin is one of the few Russian conductors to celebrate an international

    career, next to Eugen Mravinsky, Igor Markewisch and Jascha Horenstein. In 1943

    he became principal conductor at the Bolshoi theatre, an institution so important for

    Soviet musical life, to which he would belong for 13 years. In 1956 he was

    appointed chief conductor of the Moscow Philharmonic. This position opened doors

    for him internationally and Kondrashin was able to accept tour invitations from

    western countries.

    One of the milestones in his career certainly was the first international Tchaikovsky

    piano competition in Moscow in 1958. Kondrashin conducted the competition

    concert of American pianist Van Cliburn, who not only takes home the victory, but

    also "his" conductor, with whom he is completing a triumphant tour. Kondrashin is

    the first Russian conductor allowed to perform in the United States during the Cold

    War, and in return for this musical understanding between the nations, the Russian

    audience falls in love with the 23-year-old American Van Cliburn, from then on

    nicknamed "Vanyushka" in the Soviet Union.

    In addition to Van Cliburn, whose Tchaikovsky concert is one of the discographic

    highlights of this 10 CD box set, Russian companions such as Mstislav

    Rostropovich, Sviatoslav Richter and David Oistrakh are also documented here with

    outstanding recordings. Kondrashin had a special friendship with Shostakovitch, for

    whose works he campaigned throughout his career.
