Kyle, I have heard them all but it's time for a refresh. He is one of my top composers of all time.
4(Ballet-Symphony) and 5 were early favorites of mine and I have the Albany CD which contains both. I have played it over and over and over again.
I remember eagerly awaiting each new Albany Eshpai CD years ago and am so grateful for their noble efforts on his behalf.
These CD's have become desert isle cds for me.
Since I realize this may not be the proper thread to extend a discussion of this composer, it may belong in another thread.
and Eshpai certainly merits that.
So I will post also more at your fabulous Eshpai worklist thread at

I had forgotten how much Eshpai's music meant to you, Roger! And as to my "fabulous worklist", well.....I am quite flattered ;D :)
