Gennady Rozhdestvensky (1931-2018) was one of Russia’s greatest conductors along with Yevgeny Mravinsky, Kirill Kondrashin and Yevgeny Svetlanov. Like them, he was a supreme interpreter of his country’s leading composers -notably Prokofiev, Shostakovich, and Tchaikovsky – but he was also more versatile and always in search of new challenges far beyond Russian and Soviet repertoire, from Benjamin Britten to Carl Nielsen and much more.
