R. Vaughan Williams - Symphonies No.1, No.2, No.3, No.5, No.6, No.8 and No.9

Melodiya presents a complete set of Ralph Vaughan Williams’s symphonies conducted by Gennady Rozhdestvensky.Vaughan Williams was one of the largest figures of the English Musical Renaissance, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. A composer, conductor, organist, folklore student and publicist, Vaughan Williams today is mostly known for his large-scale symphonic works. The English composer’s nine symphonies sequentially reflect the evolution of his creative style (the first one was composed in 1903, and the last one not long before he died in 1958). Each of them seems to be a continuation, a development of the previous one (a sort of “chapters of one novel”), but neither repeats any other one in structure, composition, concept or music. Some of the symphonies are closely connected with national poetry (Walt Whitman), episodes from the English history or pictures of native countryside.Absorbing a wide range of sources realized in Vaughan Williams’s style - from old folk songs and religious hymns to musical impressionism and jazz - his symphonies are notable for expressive figurativeness and melodic resourcefulness, and open to any keen ear.The recordings of Vaughan Williams’s symphonies performed by the prominent conductor and recognized master of interpretation of 20th century music were made at concerts in 1988-1989 in Leningrad.

G. MAHLER - Symphonies Nos. 1, 5, 9 - K. Kondrashin - A.Sladkovsky

Collection: Orchestral Works

Melodiya presents a set of selected symphonies by Gustav Mahler interpreted by Kirill Kondrashin and Alexander Sladkovsky. Almost fifty years separate the recording of these interpretations. The name of Kirill Kondrashin is linked with the everlasting glory of the “Moscow philharmonics” - the orchestra that became one of the best collectives of the former Soviet Union under his leadership. Kondrashin not only resumed the tradition of “Russian Mahleriana” that had been interrupted by the Soviet ideologists of music for three decades - he actually rediscovered the world of Mahler’s music for the domestic audience.
People’s Artist of Russia Alexander Sladkovsky is among the best known conductors of modern Russia. He was the one who resuscitated the State Symphony Orchestra of the Republic of Tatarstan (former Tatar ASSR) and won the recognition in this country and overseas during his six-year leadership. Just as Kondrashin did, Sladkovsky possesses an extensive repertoire, devotes much attention to contemporary music and achieves the highest technique and combination of emotional uplift with academic strictness in his interpretations. Mahler and Shostakovich take a special place in the modern maestro’s music pantheon. While Mahler’s First, Fifth and Ninth symphonies recorded by Sladkovsky and his orchestra in 2016 preserve the traits of Kondrashin’s tradition, they also capture the conductor’s distinction as his art is addressed to today’s listeners.

P.I. Tchaikovsky - Ballets - USSR State Academic Symphony Orchestra - E. Svetlanov
ID: MELCD1001951

Type: CD
Collection: Ballet Music
Subcollection: Orchestra

The repertoire of any ballet company always has three performances penned by the same author - Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. These are Swan Lake (1877), The Sleeping Beauty (1889) and The Nutcracker (1892). If now these works are not only known to the whole world but have become a tradition, in Tchaikovsky’s time they opened a new era of the Russian ballet. Tchaikovsky was one of the first Russian composers who turned to the genre of ballet adding a self-reliant artistic value to the music. The Firma Melodiya programme titled “P.I. Tchaikovsky - Ballets” features the music by the greatest Russian composer performed by the USSR State Academic Symphony Orchestra lead by the prominent conductor of modern time Evgeny Svetlanov. The wealth of Tchaikovsky’s scores performed by the celebrated orchestra allows the listeners to get immersed in the magical world of the characters of Swan Lake, The Sleeping Beauty and The Nutcracker, literally visualizing it.
