This new CD is on my acquire list.    It is the first of 2 volumes.   Thank you Naxos!!


Myroslav Skoryk, a postgraduate student of Dmitry Kabalevsky, is one of Ukraines leading composers and teachers. His works range from opera and ballet, a symphonic transcription of Paganinis 24 Caprices, and his cycle of nine Violin Concertos written over a 45-year span. They draw on elements of Carpathian folklore and are saturated in expressive dialogues, lyricism and elegy while also exuding powerful intensity. Skoryks sensual writing is frequently contrasted with syncopated motifs, cadenzas, fugal episodes and march rhythms. This is the first of two volumes.

Listening to Concertos 1, 2, & 4 on YouTube as I write, searching to articulate a response and something/someone to compare the music to.  No.4 is superior to 1&2 and fairly fits the description Naxos offers, I suppose, though I might say the "powerful intensity" gets a bit tiresome when not enough relieved by anything more relaxed and reflective, - the violin is always playing throughout, and always in the forefront, even monologically so.   The music doesn't breathe sufficiently to my taste, and imparts a rather claustrophobic and chronically tense ethos that (as I say) becomes exhausting.  It does (mostly) hold my attention however.  Still, not a high priority for purchase in my case.  I've noted it for perhaps renewed consideration at some point.
