Adam Hickox conducts works by Liadov, Gubaidulina and Bartók

Dark fantasies and bewitching melodies: Adam Hickox conjures a collection of the 20th century’s most haunting tales, in music by Liadov, Gubaidulina and Bartók. As Liadov looked upon the lakes of St. Petersburg, he marvelled “cold, malevolent, but fantastic as a fairy tale.” He wasn’t alone in seeing through the world’s bleakness.
