Two British works from Russia, though if anyone expects carbon copies of Boult or Barbirolli, they'd better not click the links! ... These English works are conducted by Valeriy Platonov with a strong Russian accent and it could be that many will find them particularly interesting for that very reason. After all, British conductors and orchestras don't play Tchaikovsky and Shostakovich as carbon-copies of Russian performances.
Holst "The Planets" ...
Elgar "Enigma Variations" ...
