Andrei Eshpai, Vol. 3
Vitaly Shapkin (flute), Chaikovsky Large Symphony Orchestra, Alexander Vedemikov (conductor), Rifat Komachkov (double bass), Moscow Conservatory Orchestra, Gennady Cherkasov (conductor), USSR State Large Symphony Orchestra, Konstantin Ivanov (conductor)
In volume three of this very well-received series, we have early, middle and late examples of the works of this fine composer. If any of these performances have appeared anywhere before here, on this new CD, they appear in the best sound they have ever received for the performances have all been remastered for this series of recordings. We feel that Eshpai is a composer of sufficient stature that his music deserves the best sound possible, so the listener can judge more appropriately the quality of the music. This has been done.
