Gennadi Rozhdestvensky (born in 1931) was appointed assistant conductor at the Bolshoi in 1954 and in 1956 made his first visit to England with the Bolshoi Ballet. He was artistic director of the Moscow Radio Symphony Orchestra (1961-74) as well as the Bolshoi's youngest principal conductor (1964-70). Only the most eminent and respected Russian musicians were allowed extensive foreign tours, and Rozhdestvensky was given this status with appearances in Britain, mainly with the London Philharmonic Orchestra, and at Covent Garden. In 1971, he conducted the Leningrad Philharmonic Orchestra at the Proms.

This live performance of Tchaikovsky's popular Symphony No.5 comes from the 1978 Flanders Festival in Belgium and has been recorded in excellent stereo. It is both exciting and poetic, and it confirmed Rozhdestvensky's new appointment as music director of the BBC Symphony the same year. The fill-up consists of Janá?cek's rhapsody Taras Bulba recorded at the 1981 Proms. This work is a new addition to Rozhdestvensky's discography.
