After getting off to a flying start with Igor Stravinsky, OehmsClassics is delighted to be continuing it's partnership with the Zagreb Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Dmitry Kitayenko - this time with the works of Piotr Ilich Tchaikovsky and Alexander Glazunov. The Stravinsky recording was awarded with Pizzicato Supersonic immediately after release, and no doubt this album will be met with similar critical acclaim. Dimitri Kitaenko is one of the great maestros of our time. For decades now he has regularly conducted prestigious orchestras across Europe, America and Asia. Born in Leningrad (now St Petersburg), Dimitri Kitaenko studied at the famous Glinka School of Music and the Rimsky-Korsakov Conservatory before leaving to study with Leo Ginzburg in Moscow as well as Hans Swarowsky and Karl Ã–sterreicher in Vienna. In 1969 he won a prize at the first International Herbert von Karajan Conducting Competition and at the age of twenty-nine he was appointed principal conductor of the Stanislavsky Theatre in Moscow. In recognition of his life's work and outstanding recordings, including the complete symphonic works of Shostakovich, Prokofiev, Scriabin and Tchaikovsky, Dimitri Kitaenko received the "Lifetime Achievement Award" at the ICMA (International Classical Music Awards) in March 2015.
