Description:

A rare repertoire by one of the Soviet Union's greatest conductors! This 2-CD set features recordings by Gauk, one of the leading conductors of the Soviet Union along with Mravinsky and others. The set includes major repertoire such as "Till" and "The Sorcerer's Apprentice," the great "Faust Symphony," Debussy with Durova, the leading harpist in Russia, and Liszt with the great pianist Ginzburg, who was recognized worldwide as the fourth prize winner at the first Chopin Competition in 1927. The collection includes the following works. It is a great pleasure to be able to listen to such a large number of recordings by Gauck, who has left behind a vast amount of recordings, but whose availability is limited today. Naxos Japan
