Alexander Lazarev (conductor) / Yomiuri Nippon Symphony Orchestra

Description:

Alexander Lazarev has been the talk of the town every time he visits Japan since assuming the position of Chief Conductor of the Japan Philharmonic. This Tchaikovsky No. 4 was recorded live at his inaugural concert in January 2009. In this performance, Lazarev's particular approach to music making can be heard throughout, including the unique tempo and intensity of the music. The Japan Philharmonic Orchestra is firmly guided by Lazarev's baton and creates a tight sound. Octavia Records
