The first CD by the Philharmonie Zuidnederland was of works by Wagner and Tchaikovksy, under their chief conductor Dmitri Liss; this second CD promises to be even more spectacular. The principal work, Shostakovich's 'Tenth Symphony', caused rapturous enthusiasm in a previous live performance and is very close to Liss' own heart. The CD also includes an energetic live performance of Olga Victorova's 'Quinlong Azure Dragon'. This work too is close to Liss' heart, as is the composer herself - Victorova is his wife. One more reason for 'Philharmonie Zuidnederland' to pull out all the stops as they perform this work about a renowned Oriental dragon as well as Shostakovich's masterpiece with passion and fire.
