Kondrashin's Fourth was made shortly after the first performance and is altogether outstanding. It is both spontaneous and imaginative... it's intensity of feeling and refinement of detail are matched by recording quality of striking range for it's period." (Gramophone) "Of the film scores... Hamlet was made of sterner stuff. This music is close in spirit to the major works he was working on at the time, you'll find many of the same textures and sometimes even the same music here." (Gramophone)
