• Our series of historic radio recordings from Russian archives has proved very popular all over the world. Many people

have chosen performance over recording quality. – which, when necessary, we have improved optimally. – Thus allowing

themselves the infinite joy of listening to legendary performers.

• The musicians in this large set are all (living) legends indeed: pianists, Sviatoslav Richter, Emil Gilels, Lazar

Berman, Evgeny Kissin; violinists David Oistrakh, Leonid Kogan, Viktor Tretiakov and Gidon Kremer; cellists Rostropovich

and Daniel Shafran. Solo works, chamber music and works with orchestra are included.

• The recordings of lesser-known and hardly ever heard repertoire are a definite additional bonus of this series. The list

of mainly Russian composers comprises such names as Catoire, Medtner, Kazhlaev, and Vladigerov.

• This 100 CD set is combination of previously issued sets, with the exception of the recordings of Gidon Kremer.

Simultaneously with this 100 CD box we separately issue a set of 10 CD’s by this violinist.

• A great opportunity to acquire an valuable collection of historic material
