Description


(C.G No.1) “This is a special work. It begins with a dialogue between the soloists, cello and viola which seems very elaborated. Then starts a Handel-like concerto grosso sound which is in that context very mad. Soon join drums and electrical guitar to the orchestra. This is a great fun and could be called a remix of old classical music with modern parts … Orchestra, Soloists and Conductor are the best of that time in Russia” (Discogs)
