RUSSIAN & UKRAINIAN Russian & Ukrainian Symphonies and Orchestral Works RUSSIAN & UKRAINIAN Russian & Ukrainian Symphonies and Orchestral Works Occupying a vast land mass that has long been a melting pot of home-spun traditions and external influences, Russia’s history is deeply encrypted in the orchestral music to be found in this catalogue. Journeying from the Russian Empire through the Soviet era to the contemporary scene, the music of the Russian masters covers a huge canvas of richly coloured and immediately accessible works. Influences of folklore, orthodox liturgy, political brutality and human passion are all to be found in the listings. These range from 19th-century masterpieces penned by ‘The Mighty Five’ (Balakirev, Rimsky-Korsakov, Mussorgsky, Borodin, and Cui) to the edgy works of Prokofiev and Shostakovich that rubbed against the watchful eye of the Soviet authorities, culminating in the symphonic output of one of today’s most noted Russian composers, Alla Pavlova. Tchaikovsky wrote his orchestral works in a largely cosmopolitan style, leaving it to the band of brothers in The Mighty Five to fully shake off the Germanic influence that had long dominated their homeland’s musical scene. As part of this process, they imparted a thoroughly ethnic identity to their compositions. The titles of the works alone are enough to get the imaginative juices running, witness Borodin’s In the Steppes of Central Asia, Rimsky-Korsakov’s The Legend of the Invisible City of Kitezh, and Mussorgsky’s St John’s Night on the Bare Mountain. Supplementing the purely symphonic works, instrumental music from operas and ballets is also to be found in, for example, Prokofiev’sThe Love for Three Oranges Suite, Shostakovich’s four Ballet Suites, and Stravinsky’s Firebird Suite. All these, however, are just the works with which people are generally more familiar. There are plenty of other gems to be unearthed in the following pages. We hope you will enjoy trawling through the catalogue entries to turn up both old friends and new acquaintances. 2 RUSSIAN AND UKRAINIAN SYMPHONIES AND ORCHESTRAL WORKS Table of Contents New Releases … … … … … … … … … … … … 4 Listing by Composer … … … … … … … … … … … 6 Collections … … … … … … … … … … … … 53 DVDs … … … … … … … … … … … … … 56 Marco Polo … … … … … … … … … … … … 59 3 NEW RELEASES 8.573161 GLIÈRE, Reinhold (1875-1956) Symphony No. 3, “Il’ya Muromets” Buffalo PO / JoAnn Falletta 7 47313 31617 5 NBD0041 GLIÈRE, Reinhold (1875-1956) Symphony No. 3, “Il’ya Muromets” [Blu-ray Audio] Buffalo PO / JoAnn Falletta 7 30099 00416 9 8.573389 KHACHATURIAN, Aram Il’yich (1903-1978) Othello • Battle of Stalingrad Suite Slovak RSO / Adriano 7 47313 33897 9 8.573353 PROKOFIEV, Sergey (1891-1953) Symphony No. 1, 'Classical' Symphony No. 2, Dreams, Op. 6 São Paulo SO / Marin Alsop 7 47313 33537 4 4 RUSSIAN AND UKRAINIAN SYMPHONIES AND ORCHESTRAL WORKS NEW RELEASES NEW RELEASES 8.573161 NBD0044 GLIÈRE, Reinhold (1875-1956) PROKOFIEV, Sergey (1891-1953) Symphony No. 3, “Il’ya Muromets” Symphony No. 1, 'Classical' Buffalo PO / JoAnn Falletta Symphony No. 2, Dreams, Op. 6 [Blu-ray Audio] São Paulo SO / Marin Alsop 7 47313 31617 5 7 30099 00446 6 NBD0041 8.573132 GLIÈRE, Reinhold (1875-1956) SHOSTAKOVICH, Dmitry (1906-1975) Symphony No. 3, “Il’ya Muromets” Symphonies, Vol. 10 -

  • Capriccio Espagnol Legal Use Requires Purchase
    GRADE LEVEL— MEDIUM EASY Alfred’s Growing Band Series Capriccio Espagnol Nicolai Kimsky-Korsakov / Arr. by Mark Williams Rimsky-Korsakov’s Capriccio Espagnol is known worldwide as one of the master- works of orchestration. It has been admired and studied by many composers including Tchaikovsky. It was written in 1887 at about the same time as his famous Scheherazade and Russian Easter Overture. This arrangement of the final sections of the work capture its exciting Spanish flavor and rhythms in a format that is very accessible to young bands. This piece can be conducted in one beat to the measure, or in three, or in a combination of the two. It is important that the tempo remain steady and not be allowed to bog down. The optimum tempo will be determined by how well the ensemble can play the fast eighth-note sec- tions at measures 44 and 103 . Generally, a faster tempo will contribute more to the energy and drive of the music.

  • Tchaikovsky.Pdf
    Tchaikovsky CD 1 1 Orchestrion It wasn’t unusual, in the middle of the 19th century, to hear sounds like that coming from the drawing rooms of comfortable, middle-class families. The Orchestrion, one of the first and grandest of mass-produced mechanical music-makers, was one of the precursors of the 20th century gramophone. It brought music into homes where otherwise it might never have been heard, except through the stumbling fingers of children, enduring, or in some cases actually enjoying, their obligatory half-hour of practice time. In most families the Orchestrion was a source of pleasure. But in one Russian household, it seems to have been rather more. It afforded a small boy named Piotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky some of his earliest glimpses into a world, and a language, which was to become (in more senses then one), his lifeline. One evening his French governess, Fanny Dürbach, went into the nursery and found the tiny child sitting up in bed, crying. ‘What’s the matter?’ she asked – and his answer surprised her. ‘This music’ he wailed, ‘this music!’ She listened. The house was quiet. ‘No. It’s here,’ cried the boy – he pointed to his head. ‘It’s here, and I can’t make it go away. It won’t leave me.’ And of course it never did. ‘His sensitivity knew no bounds and so one had to deal with him very carefully. Every little trifle could upset or wound him. He was a child of glass. As for reproofs and admonitions (with him there could be no question of punishments), what would have been water off a duck’s back to other children affected him deeply, and if the degree of severity was increased only the slightest, it would upset him alarmingly.’ Despite his outwardly happy appearance, peace of mind is something Tchaikovsky rarely knew, from childhood to his dying day.

  • Nikolai Tcherepnin UNDER the CANOPY of MY LIFE Artistic, Creative, Musical Pedagogy, Public and Private
    Nikolai Tcherepnin UNDER THE CANOPY OF MY LIFE Artistic, creative, musical pedagogy, public and private Translated by John Ranck But1 you are getting old, pick Flowers, growing on the graves And with them renew your heart. Nekrasov2 And ethereally brightening-within-me Beloved shadows arose in the Argentine mist Balmont3 The Tcherepnins are from the vicinity of Izborsk, an ancient Russian town in the Pskov province. If I remember correctly, my aged aunts lived on an estate there which had been passed down to them by their fathers and grandfathers. Our lineage is not of the old aristocracy, and judging by excerpts from the book of Records of the Nobility of the Pskov province, the first mention of the family appears only in the early 19th century. I was born on May 3, 1873 in St. Petersburg. My father, a doctor, was lively and very gifted. His large practice drew from all social strata and included literary luminaries with whom he collaborated as medical consultant for the gazette, “The Voice” that was published by Kraevsky.4 Some of the leading writers and poets of the day were among its editors.
