About this item

Product description
Delos has lately been making classic Russian Disc recordings of seldom-heard Russian music available to the public again; most notably the important works of pianist, composer and pedagogical pioneer Anton Rubinstein. This release offers Don Quixote and Ivan IV, his two symphonic pictures of memorable characters, in performances that have long been ranked as being the best available. Many of Rubinsteins contemporaries considered these unique works to be among the finest music he wrote. Don Quixote is a different sort of musical portrait of Cervantes famous fictional character that depicts the deranged old knights noble dreams and actions with sympathy and subtle humor, while avoiding the kinds of overtly comic musical portrayals we have from other composers. Likewise, his more serious tone-picture of Ivan IV (Ivan the Terrible) casts a comparatively favorable musical image of Russias legendary first Tsar, emphasizing his personal energy, idealism and grandeur rather than his notorious brutality. As in the rest of Delos acclaimed re-releases of Rubinsteins music on Russian Disc, these sweeping and idiomatically true performances are from the dependable State Symphony Orchestra of RussiaIgor Golovchin.

I wrote to Bigamart's customer support and they accompanied the process of reshipping the item until it finally arrived. I felt a genuine effort to solve the problem till it was finally solved.
The package was here in Australia from England in a few days — so quick! Something was missing and they refunded it straight away. Pretty happy with these guys.
