The listing is rather amusing because of a typo (or spell-check error): "Sinfonia Concentrate". Of course, it should be Sinfonia Concertante. But it is not the usual "Sinfonia Concertante for <soloist> and orchestra". The long, slow (and rather beautiful) third and final movement has solos for practically every instrument in the orchestra, even the tuba. Well worth a listen. I am becoming rather attracted to Zhurbin's music; the second symphony is also enjoyable.

Unfortunately I have been put off Zhurbin's output by his maudlin stage musicals - including Learomania and Zhivago, both of which I have seen in live stage performances.
I will try to find time to come back to this Sinfonia, since you recommend it so highly.
