New informations

Thanks to François Segré, the principal manager for Codaex France, questions have been sent to Melodiya in Russia. Particularly regarding the date of the magnificent new recording of Myaskovsky's 6th Symphony. Here is the reply of Ksenia, from Melodiya:
"This man is right, that it could not be the 5th of December. There is the mistake in the month, I have checked by the tapes in archive and discovered it was recorded live in the 5th of November 1978. So it is really can be the last recording made before leaving homeland."
So, this is now facts: this recording was made during the concert Kondrashin conducted on November 5, 1978. When we will have thourough details about his planning and schedule we will be able to establish if it was his very last concert in Russia, which is very likely.
This is the first enigma concerning Kondrashin that has been solved. Thanks to every person who involved in that quest.
