I suggest the modern music lovers, listen to this part of the Poloz 5th symphony.
Denial and genius !

Hi Herrarte,
Where have you uploaded these Alexandrov pieces? I cannot find them in the Russian and Soviet Music downloads page.
Thanks,
Balapoel

Fyrexia,

I have uploaded the Alexandrov Sonatas 4,8 and 13 and the other pieces.  I uploaded the files uncompressed so nobody has a problem opening the tracks. I think my favorite is No8, you might agree. Ah, thanks for the Machavariani.

Cheers,

Since you posted a concerto for trumpet. I thought perhaps you might want this one.

Kryukov Concerto Poem for Trumpet and Orchestra.
Information inside a pdf file.

Hi Fyrexia - do you know if this is the same Kryukov who wrote film scores to Soviet movies - most notably one of the scores that is used for the 1925 Eisenstein classic "Battleship Potemkin"? (and by the way - would you have a recording of that?  I recorded it 18 years from video player to cassette player so of course the quality is terrible!). According to Wikipedia, Kryukov wrote his soundtrack in 1950 (the original score was by Edmund Meisel, I don't like it). Are there any other recordings of Kryukov music or film-music?

[fyrexia]

This is the only kryukov recording i have. I am not aware of any potemkin battleship with music by kryukov. The last time i saw the Potemkin battleship was with music by Dmitri Shostakovich.

Belated thanks A.S. for Kalachevsky's Ukrainian Symphony. I've never heard of the guy and the symphony isn't a huge discovery, but it's very enjoyable music - a bit like a very Russian Anton Rubinstein. Thanks a lot. Keep 'em coming!

   Thank you very much to listen my uploads.

   By the way...
   I noticed to linked wrong URL about A.KLYUCHAREV's Volga symphony.
   I modified it now.

   Enjoy it.

  Dear  Sicmu.

  Thank you very much , you uploaded  Yurovsky's Symphony No.4.
  It's very rare,  and I'm enjoying to listen it

  Thanks  A.S

Thanks, Sicmu!
The finale struck me particularly - like cribbed from Prokofiev!
I cannot find much information about him in the web but it is said that he preferred to attend Prokofiev's burial instead of Stalin's.
I have a broadcast of the world premiere of his Symphony No. 5 op. 79 (1971) played by the RSO Berlin and conducted by his son Mikhail (2005). Anyone interested?

[Sicmu]

You are welcome, many more on the way !

I have a MP3 of the fifth too but the sound is very poor, so I'm definitely interested in your version !

[Sicmu]

Thank you for the Yurovsky : your recording  sounds much better than mine and  the beginning of the symphony was also missing. This last symphony sounds maybe much like Golubev/Myaskovky than DSCH IMO.

I uploaded Isaak Dunaevsky's operetta "Free Wind" ("Vol'ny Veter" in Russian) in the downloads section  -  hope you enjoy! 

Isaak Dunaevsky - 1900-1955 (can I say it would really help if users also put the dates of composers when they put material up here - it helps one to filter what one is likely to enjoy/not enjoy!)

Two of Taranov's symphonic poems were on Melodiya lps - Gouramyshvili, opus 32 (sym poem) and Three Monuments in C, opus 46 (sym poem) - I have them but they are not digitized and I'm not at home.

Re Taranov, thanks. I only knew that the 6th sym. and I think poss. one of his string quartets had reached LP (or maybe the quartet had been released as score like the -5th- symphony also was, is what I'm thinking of. Will have to check again.)
I wonder how Wasilenko's symphonies have fared on LP and in radio broadcast...

[jerfilm]

I'm assuming that Vasilenko is the same name.  His Symphony #3 in A- Italian, opus 81 was on a Melodiya Lp years ago as were numerous other works.  Including a Piano Concerto in f# (!!!)

Yes- 5 symphonies in all, I think, the first at IMSLP (in piano duet reduction, anyway).
