		Rozhdestvensky's conducting often is prosaic, but in this repertory he is entirely convincing, perhaps because of his personal identification with the composer and his music.
		Rozhdestvensky reconstructed music from hand-written drafts of the score for a mid-thirties animated film by Mikhail Tsekhanovsky, The Tale of the Priest and His Servant Balda, then gave the premiere of the concert suite in 1979 at which time this recording was made.
		Rozhdestvensky's fine performance of a 6-movement suite from the short comic film Adventures of Korzinkina, was a highlight of an earlier Melodiya CD (MCD 194), and remains a charmer, particularly in the finale with its enchanting small chorus.

		Rozhdestvensky's final volume in his series of Shostakovich's ballet scores features the legendary work which, along with the opera Lady Macbeth, was officially castigated in Pravda in January 1936, leading to Shostakovich's "unpersoning" and relegation to the background of the Soviet music scene.
		Rozhdestvensky solves this by dropping the duplicated music, cutting 44 numbers to 29.
		One inclusion would have to be Rozhdestvensky's No. 12 (Hulme's No. 7), a scene portraying the end of work in the fields which, far from joyous, rises to a menacing fortissimo climax via a startlingly aggressive passage over pounding drums which anticipates a section of the first movement of the Twelfth Symphony.

		Conductor Gennady Rozhdestvensky arranged this suite, and his recording of it - first issued in this country by Columbia in the mid 70s - has all the panache and aplomb that one could want.
		The most striking portion of this score is the final track, including a macabre funeral march that prefigures the morbid works yet to come from this tormented composer's pen.

	Classical Net Review - Berlioz/Tchaikovsky - Symphonie Fantastique/Francesca da Rimini
		It is true that the stance taken by Rozhdestvensky is somewhat late-Romantic and he also imposes certain personal interventions on the score, but these slightly intimate views only enhanced my appreciation of this truly 'Fantastique' invention to come out of France during the early years of the Romantic era.
		This is indeed a compelling and masterful reading that obliges one to stand up and applaud vociferously just as the audience at that Proms concert did.
		The vision of Hell in Liszt's 'Dante Symphony' although highly descriptive and at times highly turgid is a pale shadow when compared to the Tcahikovsky version, especially in the hands of Rozhdestvensky, who delivers a truly infernal reading of hopeless fear and eternal damnation.

		In a series of three concerts collectively titled 'Gennady Rozhdestvensky and His Pupils' attentive Muscovites heard the sixteen-member Ensemble XXI Moscow perform all twelve of Handel's Concerto Grossi.

	Rostropovich Edition 92771 [JW]: Classical CD Reviews - February 2006 MusicWeb-International (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Rostropovich leans on notes and phrases with optimum oratorical effect; some may find the syntax discursive and the line insufficiently tensile, but the results are warmly romanticised and richly poetic and under his frequent collaborator Rozhdestvensky the orchestra is in far sharper and more incisive form.
		The recording is very shrill and rather hectoring and that can’t act as much of a recommendation, not least in the other live recordings that have emerged over the years — and not to consider the commercial Ormandy and Rozhdestvensky (and a Charles Groves-led performance as well).
		This is an intense and dramatic performance well worthy to rank beside, say, the Rozhdestvensky that circulated on Revelation and Russian Disc.

		This, in turn, implies that to reject it for any of the external reasons given above would be to miss its message completely.
		If any Schnittke issue can be said to conform to this religious criterion, it is Rozhdestvensky's recording of his two latest instrumental works, the Sixth Concerto Grosso and the Eighth Symphony.
		Both are clearly symbolic, not to say programmatic, pieces - although the precise nature of what is symbolised here is unspecified.
