Title: Festival of music by Nikolai Myaskovsky 2021
Post by: jasthill on Thursday 21 October 2021, 18:56
I just ran across these links of a Festival of music by Nikolai Myaskovsky on the stage of the Sverdlovsk Philharmonic (sic) earlier this year.
Four concerts are featured:
Symphony No. 17 (2021) https://www.aveclassics.net/news/2021-05-18-9713
String Quartet No. 13 and Cantata-Nocturne "Kremlin at Night" (2021) https://www.aveclassics.net/news/2021-05-17-9712
Symphony No. 6 (2021) https://www.aveclassics.net/news/2021-05-20-9718
Concerto for cello and orchestra (2021) https://www.aveclassics.net/news/2021-05-19-9716

All really excellent performances, I hope this posting doesn't violate any protocols.

Beware, though: the website is in Russian - and I personally would not be comfortable downloading from such a source.

Just saying...

I don't understand what the addition (sic!) means, but strange to me is the usage of Sverdlovsk Philharmonic. The name Sverdlovsk disappeared after 1991 and became Yekaterinenburg (again). The name Ural Philharmonic is more common. Beware, indeed, that Russian site is not safe for downloads!

"sic" means "thus" in Latin. Often used as an editorial interpolation to draw attention to an unusual spelling: e.g. Jane Austen writes, "Mr Parker's ancle (sic) was severely sprained."

See the informative Wikipedia article on sic (explaining how a word for certainty became a synonym for dubiousness.)
