Thank you so much! I had checked for the Cantext but couldn't find it. I am reading through the notes and ithe score and it looks great. THis is great music and i'd love it to be more frequently performed. Again, thank you very much.

Thanks so much for this!

I haven't posted in ages, but  always keep an eye on this forum.

I have only downloaded the recording of the second piano sonata, which i have been listening to recently. It's a fantastic piece, i am sure many consider it somewhat anachronic, but i love it.

Anyway i have struggled to find the score for this, can anyone help, please? Thanmks very much

I think Northern Flowers haev a bunch of recording of his

You can hear it online using the BBC's iPlayer catch up service here, or you can download my recording by going to the Downloads board and finding the link in the British Music Broadcasts thread or the Havergal Brian's Gothic Symphony - 2011 Proms thread (its the same recording).

Belated thanks!!!!

Any chance of catching it online?

Good link, thanks!

I ve bought a couple times from this guy, no complaints from him. I think he s on ebay as well.

Absoultely, i guess what  iread about him may have been biased. And i agree with you ... music comes first. Thank you!

Sad ... I have recently discovered Weinberg and i am so impressed.


Regarding all these composers, i have come to find a lot of recordings , old an new of many of the ones mentioned in this thread. 


i still don t know what the policy is on this site regarding downloads, so i have not posted any.

I studied a one page easy piano piece by Khrennikov,  a Berceuse. Beautiful little piece. Then i read about Khrennikpv s polotical trajectory and  i have to say that was it for me with this composer ... But i m intrigued now.

Tishchenko has a lot of recordings. The Northern Flowers label has a few releases of his. And there is more odf these composer s music available than one would think. Olympia and Melodiya have a lot of releases. Digging a bit, i was surprised by the ampiount of discography available from coomposers as Boris Tchaikovsky, Weinberg, Tishchenko ...

Also, i think Weinberg  spent most his life in the USSR , as he fled from Poland in 1939 if i remember correctly. Russians seem to have adopted him as a "soviet period" composer.

I didn t know Olympia folded ... i have to say i came across most of these composers on a (think) russian download site ... i downloaded a few (i know that this site is against that, but i have no other way of knowing some of this stuff) and then bought a few of the Northern Flowers releases that i sw there ...

Samuil Feinberg also recorded one of my favourite versions of the WTC

As for German (Hermann) Galynin http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_Galynin

Quite like his piano music, recorded by Olga Solovieva, who has also recorded Boris Tchaikovsky 's Piano concerto for Naxos (i actually like her interpretation more than the composer's).

To give you an idea about Boris Tchaikovsky, i ve seen the premiére recording of his Cello Partita and  the performers are BT himself on piano and Mstslav Rostropovich, no other, on cello. The wealth of his work is pretty unusual.

I really don t understand how , with so many concert goers (me being amongst those) complaining about how repetitive the symphonic and piano recital programs are these days, how can composers as great as these can still be unsung? Seems silly and unfair to me.

Welcome,  imirizaldu!

thank you,  sir!

Hi, i ve recently  "discovered" a wealth of "unsung" composers from the former USSR, through the Wartime Music series by the Northern Flowers label, and  although most of them are not up there with  guys like Prokofiev or Shostakovich in my opinon (nevertheless, worth checking), i think there are some who really should be getting much more recognition (specially compared to some other 20th century composers who are much better regarded).

The  most obvious examples are Weinberg (Vainberg), polish who fled to the USSR in 1939, and Boris Tchaikovsky (not related to Piotr Ilich). These two stand out  above the rest , or at least this is my impression. I need to give it some more time to listen to more of their stuff .

Weinberg s Symphony No.3 ... is it me or this is one of the most unfairly ignored symphonies of the 20th century?

And Tchaikovsky, Piano concerto,  and so much of his  huge catalogue ... how can these artists get so little recognition outside their homeland?
