Subcollection: OrchestreMelodiya presents recordings of the outstanding Soviet conductor Alexander Melik- Pashayev.
His performing career at the USSR Bolshoi Theatre lasted more than 30 years and made up a whole era in the life of the famous company. His numerous recordings of opera sets, including those awarded with prestigious foreign prizes such as Borodin’s Prince Igor, Prokofiev’s War and Peace and Mussorgsky’s Boris Godunov, are very well known. However, he is less known as a symphony conductor, but Melik-Pashayev’s concerts with the Bolshoi orchestra were some of the brightest ones in Moscow’s eventful music life. Melodiya revisits this part of Melik-Pashayev’s conducting legacy.

Orchestral Works
Subcollection: OrchestreThis CD features recordings by the outstanding Russian conductor Rozhdestvensky, who gave much attention to musical novelties in his performances. None could be more famous than Symphonie Fantastique.
The romantic school that was characteristic of the European spiritual environment of the beginning of the 19th century originally appeared in the circle of the German writers and philosophers: Wackenroder, Ludwig Tieck, Novalis, brothers Schlegeli. Being picked up in different European countries it became simultaneously apparent in various genres of art but the most conspicuous - in music. The development of romanticism in music was formed in its peculiar way in every particular country corresponding national and historical conditions. However, they were united by the common tendency to reflect individual inner life of human emotions that were connected with the social position of a person. The tragedy was that the society did not understand and rejected personal credo. An artist’s personal drama who was seeking consolation in the realm of day dreaming and fantasy was put in the forefront in the creative work of the romantic composers. Miniature became the most essential form in the works of the most outstanding representatives of romanticism. Vocal art was represented by the romances and song cycles of Schumann and Schubert. There appeared many piano pieces of different genres in the heritage of Chopin, Schumann and Mendelssohn. The operatic art that was crowned by the theatre productions of Bellini, Verdi and Wagner reached its peak.

Orchestral Works
Subcollection: OrchestreIn the first half of the 19th century, Russian composers began to show an interest for the music of the Orient. Then, at the very beginning of the century, the Caucasus became open for visits. Not only composers, but also poets and painters were impressed with its exoticism, and the notion "Orient" included not just the Arab East, but the Caucasus as well. In terms of style, its nature, traditions, music and dances were literally overwhelming. The Caucasus inspired many of the works of the Russian culture of the 19th century. The territorial proximity of the Caucasus to Russia, close associations with the culture and arts of the Caucasus, including the works by Alexander Pushkin and Mikhail Lermontov, and, mainly, visits of Russian composers such as Mikhail Glinka and Mily Balakirev to the Caucasus - all that were reasons why orientality found its fullest development and expression in the Russian music as compared to the other European music cultures. |
