Royal Philharmonic Orchestra (Orchestra)Grzegorz Nowak (Conductor)

A celebration of Mussorgsky’s greatest orchestral masterworks, performed with panache by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and their permanent Associate Conductor Grzegorz Nowak.

Included is a rare recording of Gorchakov’s orchestration of the ever-popular Pictures At An Exhibition – arguably darker and more Russian sounding in tone than the often-performed Ravel interpretation.

Grzegorz Nowak has led the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra on tours to Switzerland, Turkey and Armenia, as well as giving numerous concerts throughout the UK.
