Yuri Butsko

[Ilja]

Eric, pedantic point: "Stor" (pronounced "Stuhr" in Swedish) means "Large" in Scandinavian languages.

[Pen Dragon]

Mistranslation of "stor" (or stør?) Small orchestra I think, or string?

Abbreviation 'кам.' = 'камерный', i.e. 'chamber' was misinterpreted by Google translate as an abbreviation of the adjective 'каменный' = 'stone'.

Ah. I think I see this in Worldcat catalog listings elsewhere too (for Langgaard's 10th symphony for "stone" orchestra, iirc. I mean, his 11th symphony "Ixion" is pretty granitic and not just because of the Ixion legend, but c'mon. )

(oointerest: Chamber = "camernogo" or something like that? Sometimes Worldcat, gripe though I do, lists transliterations at least apparently accurately- for which I am glad if so, for it's nice (maybe) learning a bit of Russian along the way too. Piataia simfoniia dlia bolshogo orkestrom... etc. ... anyway. Thanks! )

I'm afraid, having sampled his music, discussion of Butsko is not appropriate here. Neo-romanticism falls outside our remit.
