Ossetian conductor Tugan Sokhiev began taking music lessons at age seven, at first studying the piano. He took up
conducting at 17, working with Anatoli Briskin, and he attended the St. Petersburg Conservatory, where he studied with
Ilya Musin. Sokhiev made his operatic debut in Iceland, conducting Puccini’s La boh�me, and appeared at the Metropolitan
Opera in New York with Tchaikovsky’s Eugene Onegin. He became the music director of the Welsh National Opera in 2003.
In 2005, Sokhiev began conducting the Orchestre National du Capitole de Toulouse, and he became its music director in 2008.
In 2010, he became the principal conductor designate of the Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin, and he became the
artistic director of the Bolshoi Theater in 2014. Sokhiev has conducted many orchestras around the world, including the
Chicago Symphony Orchestra, the Philadelphia Orchestra, the London Symphony Orchestra, the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra,
the Wiener Philharmoniker, the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, the Philharmonia Orchestra, and the Mahler Chamber Orchestra,

"On Sokhiev’s new Sony Classics disc the recording is indexed in twenty tracks each with a title. I especially enjoyed
the rousing and urgent Overture with its lusty-sounding chorus which marvellously sets the scene. The jaunty track 2
March of Young Ivan depicts the hero with a comical gait and track 6 Many Years! features the strong and expressive
voice of mezzo-soprano Olga Borodina who is splendidly supported by the chorus. The dramatic and powerful The Holy Fool (tr.7)
has plenty of forward momentum although a couple of times the effect sounds untidy; maybe these are edits. This is especially
noticeable at 0:19. In On the Bones of the Enemy (tr.9) the dark, bold brass convey a threatening scene contrasting with the
martial percussion of The Tartars (tr.10). At ten and a half minutes track 12 To Kozan! is the lengthiest section. Perhaps a shade
overlong for its material its music is tender and attractive music. At 6:47 the music becomes brisker and more vibrant.
Track 13 Ivan Implores the Boyars has a heavy, laboured tread that gradually becomes louder and more dramatic before
concluding with a wordless chorus. A chilling atmosphere of foreboding hangs over track 14 Efrosinia and Anastasia and I
relished Olga Borodina’s lovely in track 15 Song of the Beaver. One of the finest sections is the dramatic Song Of The Oprichniki (tr.17)
with low, dark strings communicating a potent sense of trepidation complete with angry timpani impacts. The menacing mood
of the men’s chorus is moderated by the arrival of the women singers. Resolute bass soloist Ildar Abdrazakov in track 18 Song
of Fyodor Bassmanov provides some rich and hearty singing. He is accompanied by the men’s chorus together with some prominent
percussion. The heavily dramatic Finale with the orchestra and mixed choir produces a sequence of majestic awe.
From first note to last there is a strong awareness that Sokhiev and his well prepared orchestral and choral musicians are
collaborating towards a common musical purpose."
