SOMM Recordings announces a significant new release: the first live performance on CD of Tchaikovsky’s Fifth Symphony and Sibelius’ Second Symphony by legendary conductor Serge Koussevitzky and the London Philharmonic Orchestra. The historic double CD also includes an exclusive, specially commissioned documentary about Koussevitzky’s time with the Boston Symphony Orchestra and his guest appearances with the LPO, with interviews by Jon Tolansky with four key members of both orchestras.Tolansky’s insightful hour-long documentary features extensive musical excerpts and contributions from former BSO players Harry Ellis Dickson (violin), Everett “Vic” Firth (timpani), and Harry Shapiro (sub-principal horn), as well as former LPO sub-principal horn player Patrick Strevens. The symphonies can be heard in performances Koussevitzky conducted with the LPO at London’s Royal Albert Hall in 1950. Both have been expertly restored by Lani Spahr.
