❖ An extensive array of Markevitch’s stereo recordings spanning from 1958 to 1972
❖ This set celebrates the maestro’s attention to detail and his great respect for the dynamics, rhythm and orchestral colour of the score
❖ An eminent conductor, he was much admired for his interpretations of the French, Russian and Austro-German repertoire, and of twentieth-century music in general
❖ Markevitch put his career as an eminent avant-garde composer aside to become a prominent and brilliant conductor as this collection displays
❖ His quick temper reflected in his music in sharp emotional shifts, yet his performances were meticulously prepared and followed the composer's directions with exceptional care.
