USSR Symphony & Bolshoi Orchestra/Evgeni Svetlanov
“An eminently recommendable survey of Glinka’s orchestra output… playing of the USSR Symphony is nothing if not expert and idiomatic… performances embrace a considerable time span, but generally very good indeed” – Penguin Guide
“firm and lively as one would expect from Svetlanov, and from a Russian orchestra very much on home ground. The recordings do full justice to Glinka’s beautiful scoring. An enjoyable record, not to be missed by lovers of Russian music.” – Gramophone

“Glinka is widely acknowledged as the father of Russian music… A trip to the Caucasus in 1823 exposed him to local music and dances against a backdrop of spectacular scenery and galvanized him into researching Russia’s own musical traditions. Whether in grand operas or shorter pieces, his settings of tuneful dances were his hallmark… Kamarinskaya, another hugely influential work (Tchaikovsky wrote that the ‘Russian symphonic school is all in Kamarinskaya, just as the whole oak is contained in the acorn’).” – James Murray

“(they) play with a sense of wild risk and passion and more energy than you thought possible, and they include more of the vocal cues……This disk is an experience not to be missed. Persons over sixty should consult their physicians. Before pressing "play" take your heart medicine and get a grip on something very solid. ….For the Brujo ….The Mexicans are having too much fun to care”…. MusicWeb International
