Nikolai Golovanov (1891-1953) was one of the leading conductors of the Stalin era, for a long time at the head of the prestigious Orchestra of the Bolshoi Theater in Moscow. Fortunately, there are countless recordings of works by Wagner, Rimsky-Korsakov, Rachmaninov, Beethoven, Mussorgsky recorded by him on the Melodya label. In these two CDs we have opted to collect, with excellent sound quality, some of his extraordinary interpretations of Tchaikovsky’s work. Among them one of the most singular interpretations of the Symphony No. 6 and a monumental edition of the First Piano Concerto with Emil Gilels.
