Moscow State RTV Symphony Orchestra
Live from Moscow Radio Hall in December 1998, André de Quadros leads the Moscow State RTV Symphony Orchestra with pianist Yuri Rozum in Rachmaninov's Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini and Beethoven's Seventh Symphony.
The programme pairs Rachmaninov's celebrated variations for piano and orchestra with Beethoven's Symphony No. 7 in A major, Op. 92, in a concert performance that places soloist and orchestra in the same live acoustic.
