Ural Youth Symphony Orchestra- Myaskovsky: Alastor Symphony No. 7 & The Kremlin (PREORDER)
SKU: 5400439008533
The works of Nikolai Myaskovsky, one of the major composers of the 20th century, remain largely unexplored. The Ural Youth Symphony Orchestra and Alexander Rudin continue their project of reviving the composer's unheralded masterpieces: his early symphonic poem Alastor embodies the aspirations of a lonely romantic hero towards an unrealisable ideal; the Seventh Symphony is a mature artist's contemplation of a man and of the world; The Kremlin by Night cantata, composed late in his career, expresses Myaskovsky's love for his motherland and it's rich history. This is the first studio recording of the cantata. "Myaskovsky's works are very close to me," says Alexander Rudin, "his music is noble, darkened, philosophical and somewhat mysterious; much in it remains unknown. Deriving from Tchaikovsky, Myaskovsky also inherits Mussorgsky's tragic disposition and premonition of catastrophe. His inherent awareness that life was restless, somewhat dangerous and unpredictable, was connected not only with his time but also with his perception of the world".
