Rodion Schedrin; Concertos & Ballet Music

Recorded in St. Petersburg in 2010, originally issued by LSO Live. Gramophone reviewed this very favorably; "Talented examples of the interest in Russian culture that binds together the apparently polarised worldly and spiritual aspects of Shchedrin... these finely executed pieces can be counted an important document. [Concertos] if you like your Russian concerto-playing declamatory and armour-plated, it could be just the treat you're looking for."
