With Richard Baker. For 70 years,
llya Musin has symbolised one of the world's great schools of conducting. He entered the St Petersburg
Conservatoire on the same day as Dmitri Shostakovich , who became a lifelong friend. He was passed over for many of the major conducting posts, yet his class in St Petersburg has been a magnet for aspiring conductors from Russia and, more recently, from further afield, including Britain. He has only recently been allowed to travel outside the Soviet Union and made his debut in this country at the age of 92.
