Recorded live at the Academy of Music, Philadelphia, 1978 (Mussorgsky) / 1979 (Tchaikovsky)

Famous violinist Itzhak Perlman and Eugene Ormandy, long-standing conductor of the Philadelphia Orchestra recorded this fantastic Russian program live at the Academy of Music, Philadelphia, in 1978 and 1979 in extraordinary sound quality.

Modest Mussogorsky's most famous piano composition Pictures at an Exhibition which is deemed to be one of Ormandy's specialties is orchestrated in the acclaimed Ravel version.

Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto, which is considered as one of the best known and technically most challenging works for violin, is performed by Itzhak Perlman - undeniably the reigning virtuoso of the violin - who has also been called "one of the greatest musical talents to emerge since World War II" according to violin expert Tully Potter, New Grove.

The concert is directed by the Peabody Award winner Kirk Browning, who is highly acclaimed for staging classical concerts due to his long-time experience as television director and producer.
