This is an important LP, for me. Not only because Gil Evans is among the most important composers and arrangers in jazz, and perhaps is not even for his poetic lyricism or for the wonderful voices of Steve Lacy, Lew Soloff or Earl McIntyre. I don't believe it's important for the music of Hendrix, that Gil would have liked to play with Miles Davis, and perhaps even because it's one of the greatest projects of HORO label. Maybe it's just for the title, or for that solitary golden portrait, but I feel that is an important LP for me, now. I can't say more.

The Köln concert shows us these positive vibrations marching through "the complete continuance of creative music", and on towards the next millennium. The "success of the future" is not a lost cause as long as there is music like this in the air.

A very rare band with quality music. Enjoy!

This compilation covers 20 years of live recordings made by conductor Yevgeny Mravinsky and the then-named Leningrad Philharmonic Orchestra for Erato. Mravinsky led that orchestra for nearly 50 years, from 1938 until his death. His last recording was that of Shostakovich's Symphony No. 12, made in 1984, found on Disc 3 here. His interpretations of Shostakovich and Tchaikovsky were highly regarded, so it's not surprising that several of their symphonies are here. There are also symphonies by Mozart and Beethoven in this set; tone poems by Tchaikovsky and Mussorgsky; and orchestral excerpts from operas by Wagner, Glinka, and Glazunov. The final disc contains a rare recording of a rehearsal led by Mravinsky, something few outsiders were ever allowed to witness. Even though he was an elder statesman of Russian music at the time of these recordings, there is still precision and energy in his interpretations.
