This is the debut recording of the Russian National Orchestra, the first privately-owned and privately-funded orchestra in Russia since before the Revolution of 1917.
Deutsche Grammophon recorded this disc almost in the Great Hall of the Tchaikovsky Conservatory in Moscow immediately after signing the orchestra as an exclusive act in November, 1993, sending the recording team of producer Christian Gansch and Tonmeister Rainer Maillard to tape the new orchestra in the record company's new 4D sound technology.
