Russian conductor Gennady Rozhdestvensky dies at 87
Born in Moscow into a well-known musical family, Rozhdestvensky made his
debut by conducting a Tchaikovsky ballet at the Bolshoi, aged just 20.
He made his name by popularising music by composers who were all but banned
by the Communist authorities in the USSR, including Poulenc and Hindemith.
The cause of death was not immediately known, but local media reports say he
had heart problems.
In 1971, Rozhdestvensky brought his Leningrad Philharmonic Orchestra to
London to the BBC Proms.
He conducted the Soviet premiere in 1974 of the hitherto banned opera The
Nose by Shostakovich.
In the late 1970s, he served three years as the principal conductor of the
BBC Symphony Orchestra.
He did not believe in over-rehearsing, according to Gramophone magazine.
"The point of rehearsal is to put together the concert ... not to give the
concert," it quoted him as saying.
Also a pianist and composer, Rozhdestvensky took charge of many of the
world's leading orchestras in his long career, including the BBC Symphony
Orchestra for three years in the 1970s.
