Performer Biography

Nicolai Malko, the conductor on this album, was born in Brailov, Ukraine, to a musical family; his mother was a pianist and his father a cellist.

Interpretation

Malko's conducting principle was to allow the music to make its effect by its own means, without resorting to changes in tempo or dynamics to emphasize what the composer had not already notated.
