Russian & Soviet Music

[herrarte]

According to this page http://home.wanadoo.nl/ovar/bortkiewicz.htm Op.39 is comprised of 14 pieces, the recorded Childhood Suite is missing the following ones

2, Mother
3, Father
4, Grischka, the wandering monk
6, Childhood
7, Natalia Sawischna
9, Robinson Crusoe
12, Quadrille and
13 Mazurka.

If you listened to the Suite and know the order of the pieces you know already that the order is messed up,  because it goes 1, 14, 5, 8, 10, and 11. I don't know if Bortkiewicz arranged it for String Orchestra.

The Arabian Suite as recorded here is missing piece No 8 Dance of the Three Sisters.

I have no info on the Yugoslav Suite and the names of the pieces.
The Rhapsody for Piano and Orchestra has been recorded by Bhagwan Thadani I see but can't tell you how to acquire it unless you go to his page here http://www.oocities.org/vienna/strasse/7136/, it seems that his page here is outdated.

The Acrobats, Op.50, his Piano Trio Op.38, his Six Preludes Op.66 according to http://ingp0040.home.xs4all.nl/ are still missing, so no luck there.

If you want more info on his recorded music go here (You were asking for a site devoted to him)http://ingp0040.home.xs4all.nl/. So far the only recorded Opus of what you mention above is what I posted, maybe somebody living in the Ukraine or with access to Ukrainian Radio Broadcasts can contribute more to this topic.

Cheers,

erm, according to the same page the string orchestra (op.39_b_) version of the Childhood suite is only of 6 pieces from the piano suite- he didn't orchestrate the whole thing. That would be why it's missing pieces, it's not an incomplete recording. Or am I misunderstanding?

[Dundonnell]

All of Skulte's nine Symphonies were recorded by Melodyia.

Nos. 1 and 7 have been kindly made available so far and I think Atushi promises us No.5?

Are there any more available?

[Latvian]

All of Skulte's nine Symphonies were recorded by Melodyia.

Sorry, Dundonnell, that is sadly not the case. The only Skulte symphonies recorded by Melodiya were 3, 4, 5, and 7. The other five were recorded by Latvian Radio for broadcast, but no performance of any of them has ever been commercially released. I'm sure I and others on this forum can manage to get all of them uploaded at some point, however.

[Dundonnell]

Indeed, my mistake.

I read "LP Melodyia" on Onno van Rijen's website to mean what its says....but now I notice that there is no catalogue number beside the entry.

  Hi Dundonnell,

  Yes, I have Symphony no.4 and no.5 
  I already digitized it on my Hard disc.
  I will upload these today.

  And maybe I have no.2
  I will check this source.



  For Sicmu,

Thanks to upload no.7 (Of course Evlakhov and other)
This symphony's title 'Preserve Nature!' is very interesting....


  Atsushi

[Dundonnell]

Thank you so much...again, Atushi

Unfortunately, Onno often seems to attribute Soviet broadcast recordings to Melodiya. Wishful thinking, perhaps?

[Dundonnell]

Ah

So here's a request. The composer is the opposite of unsung, but the music is rare -- there's a youTube channel with postings of all the Tchaikovsky student works (such as the pair of wind adagios and a string trio that have never been released on CD), presumably released on Melodiya LPs. While I could demux the vids, if anyone has good quality LP rips of those I think it'd be a great addition (there's also an LP which I actually own with the two early overtures and the Jurisprudence March, March Slav -- with alternate 'hymn'! -- and Coronation March)

[Christopher]

So please feel free to upload that LP, esp the Marche Slave with alternate hymn!!))

[TerraEpon]

Well I gather I could if I could figure out how why computer doesn't seem to want to record it. And it'd sound pretty bad because my turntable is cheap.

Check the Russian Download Section, you might find one or two pieces you're missing.

Looks like a LOT of student works!

[mahler10th]

Here's the previously released unknown works of the Master Composer, but very hard to find and buy.

Hope you like what you hear...

Chorus of Flowers and Insects by Tchaikovsky?  This will be extremely interesting!
