Symphony Orchestra of New Russia/Bashmet
(ICA Classics)
Here's a chance to savour two mainstays of the repertoire recorded live in Moscow by an orchestra that visits Britain too rarely, the Novaya Rossiya, directed by its chief conductor, the charismatic viola virtuoso Yuri Bashmet. Tchaikovsky's "Path�tique" is a powerfully emotional piece under any baton, but in this shattering interpretation Bashmet digs down to its darkest depths to reveal its true Slavic soul. And his young players, all graduates of the Moscow Conservatoire, bring a real freshness to Brahms's Symphony No 3, racing through the opening allegro and dancing through the third movement with sunny insouciance.
