Description
Yuri Bashmet is one of the greatest viola players of our time, featured here as an equally impressive conductor of the Novaya Rossiya State Symphony Orchestra, an ensemble that has been conducted by the likes of Vladimir Ashkenazy and Valery Gergiev. Bashmet became Chief Conductor of the orchestra in 2002. With ‘razor-sharp performances’ (David Nice), Bashmet has been compared to Mravinsky in his dynamic and fresh approach to these three core symphonic works.
