Temirkanov’s style is highly emotional, placing much emphasis on colour and warmth. Naturally, this set contains a fair number of Russians works, from Tchaikovsky to Prokofiev, Khatchaturian, Scriabin, Rachmaninov and Shostakovich. Also included are lesser-known names such as Rodion Shchedrin (born 1932). The conductor also shows an affinity with a surprising number of French compositions by Ravel, Debussy and Ibert. The all Russian recordings date from approximately 1966 to 1985.
