The Israel Philharmonic OrchestraMstislav Rostropovich, conductor
"Rostropovich's conducting technique is one of a kind. Here, this is superfluous, as a musical genius has, through his suggestive powers, conveyed his vision to orchestra and audience alike. We all felt Tchaikovsky's tragedy in this, his "swan song", his last symphony, the first performance of which he conducted, in Saint Petersburg, just nine days prior to his death (or possible suicide)"….Rostropovich took this symphony to new depths of expression of the horrifying tragedy of human fate."
