Title: Stanislav Lyudkevych - Ukrainian Live CD Post by: guest224 on July 30, 2020, 06:22:48 pm This CD of Lyudkevych's music has just been released.
Ukrainian Live, Vol.1 https://www.discogs.com/sell/item/1146805964 (https://www.discogs.com/sell/item/1146805964) The recordings are old, but possibly never previously released. They are: - Sinfonietta (Rec. 1962) - Subcarpathian Symphony (Rec. 1982) - Symphony A Minor (Rec. 1968) Lviv Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra, Demian Pelekhatyi I asked the seller what will be on "Vol.2", given that this is called Vol.1, but he doesn't know! Title: Re: Stanislav Lyudkevych - Ukrainian Live CD Post by: Holger on July 31, 2020, 07:17:22 am I also bought my copy a while ago – you might remember that we already briefly mentioned (and discussed) this CD in April: http://artmusic.smfforfree.com/index.php/topic,7038.0.html (http://artmusic.smfforfree.com/index.php/topic,7038.0.html) As for the music itself, I am happy to have these rarities (which had not been released before indeed), even if I would not call them a major find. It's music which is still very much rooted in 19th century and follows its idols pretty closely (without reaching them), even in the late A Minor symphony which strongly echoes Tchaikovsky's Symphonies Nos. 4&6, while the scherzo partly recalls Mussorgsky's Ballet of the Unhatched Chicks in Ravel's orchestration (look at the way Lyudkevych passes over to the trio). |
