About

Composer Rodion Shchedrin (1932-2025) was one of the leading figures of post-war Soviet music. This album by the Turku Philharmonic Orchestra and conductor Olli Mustonen brings together four of his works, including music from his ballet The Lady with the Lapdog, as well as a viola concerto, Concerto dolce, performed by Lawrence Power, one of the greatest violists of our time. Rodion Shchedrin passed away while this album - a monument to the unique friendship and artistic collaboration that Olli Mustonen and Rodion Shchedrin cultivated over the course of three decades - was in preparation.

Critic reviews

  • “…memorably projected here through the superb playing of Lawrence Power, and the fine orchestral response from Olli Munstonen and the Turku Philharmonic… All in all, an invaluable release and a wonderful tribute to the composer who passed away last year at the grand old age of 92.”
