2 Symphonies (Symphonic Poems • Overtures)
Symbolic image – for the detailed description and condition, please read the Item Details below.
Mily Balakirev stands at the heart of Russian romantic tradition, leading the nationalist composers' movement in 19th century St. Petersburg. This comprehensive 1997 release pairs his two symphonies with characteristic orchestral works including the beloved symphonic poem Russia and the Spain-inspired overture. Evgeny Svetlanov conducts the USSR Symphony Orchestra with characteristic Russian warmth and expansive phrasing. The symphonies display Balakirev's gift for memorable melody and lush harmonic language, influenced by Russian folk traditions. The orchestration is colorful and imaginative without overwhelming the material. For listeners drawn to late romantic symphonic music or seeking deeper knowledge of Russian classical tradition beyond the obvious names, this represents both excellent introductory material and revelatory interpretations.
