Russia in Revolution: An Empire in Crisis

Gershwin: Rhapsody In Blue/An American In Paris is a 1991 album by the Philharmonia Slavonica, conducted by Henry Adolph. This was released by Selected Sound Carrier.

Vladimir Fedorovich Dzhunkovsky was a witness to Russia’s unfolding tragedy—from Tsar Alexander II’s Great Reforms, through world war, revolution, the rise of a new regime, and finally, his country’s descent into terror under Stalin. But Dzhunkovsky was not just a passive observer—he was an active participant in his troubled and turbulent times, often struggling against the tide. In the centennial of the Russian revolution, his story takes on special significance.
