Gennady Rozhdestvensky died on 16 June 2018 at the age of 87. As a small tribute to a great Russian conductor, here he is conducting Vincent d'Indy's arrangement of a popular piano piece by Anton Rubinstein, the founder of the St. Petersburg Conservatory and Tchaikovsky's composition teacher. On this 1987 Melodya LP, with apologies for the clicks, Rozhdestvensky conducts the USSR Bolshoi Theatre Orchestra. The cello solo is played by Alexander Ivashkin.
