Mussorgsky's loveless and brutal drama of the transformation of Russian society, which led to the rule of Peter the Great within the epic history of Russia, is powerfully modernised through Stein Winge's dramatic and uncompromising production. Performing the version completed by Shostakovich, the outstanding Russian-dominated cast and the orchestra and chorus of the Liceu are led by Michael Boder.
The Moscow Sax Quintet: The Jazznost Tour The Moscow Sax Quintet is considered one of the finest Jazz groups in the world and this DVD features the distinctive group on their premiere world tour appropriately named the ""The Jazznost Tour."" Their magical sound perfectly captures the Jazz feeling particularly on classics by Fat Waller and The Beatles. When they interpret Charlie Parker's improvised solos playing them in 5-part harmony at a breakneck speed you can hear the mastery of their skill in the music. Long famous for their virtuosity in the classical arena this DVD proves that music is the universal language by showcasing the ground-breaking Russian group's mastery of the American art form. 'I will state flat out: this Moscow Sax Quintet ""Jazznost Tour"" video is an amazing display of pure musicianship of the highest caliber. I couldn't pull myself away from the screen it's non-stop and sweet sweet jazz... If you buy only one DVD this year you simply must make it this one' - David J Gibson Saxophone Journal. Tracklist: 1.
