Tabakov / Tabakov- Complete Symphonies 5 (CD)
The music of the Bulgarian composer-conductor Emil Tabakov (b. 1947) explores the darker side of the human spirit in epic scores as austere as they are powerful. The Second Symphony is a diptych where the wild, stamping, manic whirl of the second movement releases the store of energy pent up by the grief-stricken first. The four-movement Sixth Symphony is a tragic utterance in the monumental manner of the middle-period Shostakovich symphonies, bleak and gripping in equal measure.
Tracklist:
- Symphony No. 2: I. Adagio
- Symphony No. 2: II. Allegro Moderato
- Symphony No. 6: I. Allegro Agitato
- Symphony No. 6: II. Largo
- Symphony No. 6: III. Allegro
- Symphony No. 6: IV. Allegro
