  2. Symphony Orchestra of the Ministry of Culture of the USSR
    蘇聯文化省交響樂團
    (蘇聯共產黨還當政時的樂團名稱)

    Conductor: Gennady Rozhdestvensky

    羅傑斯特汶斯基
    1990年代率領這支神秘的交響樂團來過台北國家音樂廳，
    曲目是蕭士塔高維契第十號交響曲，舞台中央架著一台巨大的史坦威鋼琴
    羅傑斯特汶斯基習慣在身後放一台大鋼琴，這樣背對觀眾時，指揮起來才有安全感
    我的座位是在很前面中間，很清楚可以看到指揮的表情動作!
    蕭士塔高維契與柴可夫斯基兩個巨人共同撐起俄羅斯民族的偉大音樂殿堂
    進入21世紀後，老一輩的大指揮家一個一個先後凋零，2020之後更是只剩下1.2位了。

  11. Thank you very much for sharing this video. A golden archive! This is my favourite version of this symphony, conducted by Gennady Rozhdestvensky, a conductor I deeply admire. He is so unique. He is really telling a story (a true story!). And has his own way of transmitting the colours of this music with the orchestra to the audience. The result is very much alive, felt and played. A vibrant performance. Waoo!
