Russian & Soviet Music

Off topic, but speaking of Concerto #2s did you know that Hyperion has squashed your YouTube of Kalkbrenner PC 2?  I thought that it had to be the same performance, recorded after the fact to be suppressed for copyright violation.

No, they never squashed my Kalkbrenner Pc 2. I just happen to not have it uploaded. And i cant now, because one of the movements is over 15 minutes. And i do not have the privilege to upload over 15 minutes. And the other reason is that its on my other HD, which is kinda damaged, so i am without possibilities of accessing it. But... i am still trying to find a way, because there is also my alexandrov pc audio score video and several more. Its really a hard job to do those things.

Talking about ukrainian music and lacks of sufficient information. I have an unsolved question.
Ukrainian composer Levko Revutsky, composed a Piano Concerto Op.18.
It was then recorded on MELODIYA lp and released with 2 versions of it (i have 2 at least).
All best,

Tony

Hi Tony!  Is this Revutsky piano concerto something that you could upload? 

You mean the score or the recording?

I mean the recording - did you say you have two versions on LP?

[jerfilm]

Tony, How does one currently access your YouTube channel?

Christopher,

Yes i have two versions. One from lp. The other one i am not sure if its from lp or radio, but i really remember its also lp. Same pianist but with different conductors.

Thank you very much for this Markniew!  By the way, "dukhovna" means spiritual, so I don't know why a collection of piano music would be called "Spiritual Music of Ukraine series"...!

Hello

yes I know that "dukhovna" in Russian means spiritual but am not sure the same meaning in Ukrainian. so it is only my interpretatio thet it might also mean "sublime" or so i.e. artistic?
and one interesting thing - on the cover we have "vypusk 10" = release 10! perhaps there are at least 9 other sets with academic (as Russian call artistic/classical music) music?

Hi Mark,

the following site mentions three piano concertos composed in 1920, 1931 and 1957 (even with keys):
http://www.russiancomposers.org.uk/page787.html
However, in case of Lyudkevych there is clearly a certain lack of accurate sources.

Holger

Hi Holger,

thank you for the link. in fact they mention 3 pf ctos. I am not litarate in notes I cannot "decipher" the key of composition. and have a question; what is the key of the only one (?) recorded Lyudkevich's cto? Knowing that we can also know which one it is (what number).

best,
Marek

Hi Marek,

the key of the only recorded Lyudkevych Piano Concerto is F sharp Minor, so according to the site I referred to it really must be his Piano Concerto No. 3.

By the way, I also have some other pieces by Lyudkevych on LP which I might consider uploading in the future – though time is spare this month.

Best,
Holger

Hello again - I still can't find this on the internet.  I am probably going to Kiev in September.  Would it be possible for you to scan and send the front cover and contents page so that I can show it in the music shops there to see if they have it?  I would be very grateful!!

Hello Christopher,

Thank you Holger. it's strange that two Soviet books I have got do mention only two ctos of 1920/50 and 1957! they list some compositions of 1963, 64 and even 1973.

Hi A.S,

your posts in the Soviet Music folder show you have a great deal of this music in your collection ( and thank you for being so active in sharing your music), so do I and I'm still interested in finding more music of this kind. regarding the symphonies there still are ar least 3 Melodiyas I never ecountered  so far :

Bafoev Symphony no.2 C10 24383
Gadzhiev, D Symphony no.3 C10 31265
Mukkathov Serdar Symphony no 2

I'm pretty sure you already have Gadzhiev's fourth (and Rauf Gadzhiev's first as well) but you might be interested in his fifth + a Symphonic Poem :

AS, thanks for the list of composers and dates - it filled in quite a gap in my database.  According to my records, Akhinian died in 1991.

Most of this music is beyond my comprehension but many Lps were sent to me during the Cold War from a friend in the Moscow who was trading Melodiyas, mostly, for western opera recordings.
