We may look at this concert as an illustration of a unique Russian musical culture.I mean both the music piece and its interpretation.It is deep feeling,sensitive soul and strength mixed with vivid calmness.

But that's the reason why he's perfect on tchaikovsky, rachmaninoff and shostakovich.

Best conductor that is Evgeny Mravinsky, best orchestra that is The Leningrad Philharmoniker Orcherstra, one of the two best symphonies ever written that is the fifth symphony of Tchaikovsky along with the fifth symphony by Chostakovich. All these considerations in mind make in fact a marvellous moment of pure music.

in both, composer and conductor the heart and soul of rusian music.

@hugoclasico Let's leave politics (and your oversimplified view) out if it.

Among a few versions of Tchaikovsky 5 by Mravinsky we can see on YouTube, I think this performance is the best. Is the rest of this concert available anywhere?

Wow! Bravo to Valeri Bezrutchenko (clarinet). His sound enters directly into the heart.

I love the sudden diminuendo that he gets from the strings at 4:15. It's incredible!!!

[hugoclasico]

Forgot to say: musically speaking, one of the best and from the old russian school.

I fully agree but you all know that part of the integrity of this cultural growing in the USSR was to achieve excellence.If not, well, you might end at Siberia.He keeps in his lapel the Lenin merit medall!!!!

I agree w/ labitx88. Shostakovich trusted Mravinsky to get it right. Take the 11th symphony for example. Icy. The chaos of the massacre in the square triggered and stirred by the frightening rat tat. Mravinsky did some good work with the rhythm section in evoking the sharp report of mechanized murder.
