Rodion Shchedrin
"Composing Music that employs academic structures is not enough for me. I have to write music that lives and breathes, that has blood circulating through its veins. I want music that is alive, that makes a connection with the musicians and audience. I am an emotional person and so I write emotional Music."
- Rodion Schedrin
“The disc's recording quality is excellent, allowing the fine playing of the PSO to come through easily. Conductor Mariss Jansons knows exactly what he wants with this music.”
– Andy Druckenbrod, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
