In our new-look November issue, we mark 100 years since the Russian Revolution by looking at how the dramatic itself and the Soviet regime that followed had a major impact on classical music and the Russian composers who lived through them. Continuing the Russian theme, Clemency Burton-Hill interviews pianist and conductor Vladimir Ashkenazy as he celebrates his 80th birthday; we explore the life and work of composer Mikhail Glinka, the ‘father of Russian music’; and we compare the finest recordings of Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto. Plus, we raise a glass both to composer Francis Jackson as he turns 100 and to Birmingham Conservatoire as it moves into its state-of-the-art new building. And, on your free cover CD, we present works by Rachmaninov, Prokofiev and Scriabin, played by Sviatoslav Richter.
