Signum Records are proud to present the first release in a new
series of live orchestral recordings featuring the illustrious St
Petersburg Philharmonic Orchestra, led by their chief conductor
Yuri Temirkanov.
These new recordings have been made possible thanks to the
recent refurbishment of their home concert venue, the Grand
Philharmonic Hall, allowing many of us to hear for the first time
the excitement of the Philharmonic's performances in their
resident city of St Petersburg.
This release will be followed later in the year with their live
performance of Shostakovich's Symphony No. 7 (Leningrad).

Christopher Warren-Green
The second release in our new series with the London Chamber
Orchestra presents three more classic performances from the
their home venue of St. John's, Smith Square, featuring principal
conductor Christopher Warren-Green and the pianist and
director Melvyn Tan.
The remarkable acoustic and intimate ambience of St. John's, its
London home, enable LCO - the only chamber orchestra
resident in London - to give vibrant performances and establish a
close rapport with its audiences. The recordings on the LCO Live
label, in partnership with Signum Classics, are the result of this
happy marriage of orchestra and venue.
"The concerts of Warren-Green and the London Chamber
Orchestra at St John's, Smith Square aren't often noticed in the
press, but their large regular audience knows that they are some
of the most exciting in London." The Times
