Valentin Silvestrov: Symphony no 3

[BrianA]

While doing a bit of online research on an unrelated topic I stumbled upon the information that the London Phil under Jurowski performed this work on Sept 27, 2017.  While there's been a performance of this work (conducted, I believe, by Maderna) kicking around on the internet for some time, a fresh take would be most welcome to we Silvestrovophiles.  I don't suppose anybody knows if this performance was broadcast and if so, whether or not anybody managed to snag a recording?  I know it's a bit of a long shot but hope springs eternal...

Hi Brian,

Here is a link to Silvestrov's Symphony 3 by the Kiev Philharmonic in 1976:

Some of the download links work, some don't, but it appears to be an mp3 file as it's only 120mb

1-3. Spectra (1965)

That link from Mr.(?) Geronimo leads to a site with an awful lot more than Silvestrov - well worth checking out !        Thank you for the 'steer'.
