This title, `Four Seasons`, and the file labeled `Russian Seasons`, both in the Boris Arapov folder, are the same work, and, as far as I can hear, the same recording.
In the late 1980s and early 1990s DELOS released a selection of the eleven symphonies of David Diamond, landmark recordings that were rereleased on NAXOS around 2003 and 2004. I don`t think Diamond`s 6th Symphony was included in the series. But here it is, evidently from a live transcription disc, in a lively interpretation by none other than the great Charles Munch. Thank you so much for uploading this.
I would like to draw listeners attention to the last 40 seconds of this recording, where one can hear, amid the applause, the distinct sound of persistent and passionate booing on the part of the audience. Indeed, the music does thrash around rather violently in the finale; and evidently the style offended a good many ears of those in attendance.
I found this portion of the recording most interesting, as a historical record of musical attitudes of the times, here in 1951, and as an event in the concert hall itself. Imagine if we had a recording of the audience ruckus that took place at the premiere of the Rite of Spring! I wonder if the Diamond Symphony 6 would elicit the same reaction today, 61 years after the fact!

Thank you for this download. Instead of providing each movement as a separate file (for which we must wait 4 minutes between each file download), I wish you`d provided all movements in one file. It would save much time. Thanks.
Thank you so much for this upload of the Svetlanov performance of the Shostakovich 10th. It is the most important recording of a Shostakovich symphony that has not yet been brought to CD. The sound may not be exactly digital quality, but it is most gratifying to hear. Regrettably Svetanov recorded only three of the 15 -- 5, 7, and 10. Thus, your upload makes a highly noteworthy contribution to the site.

How well do you know your Shostakovich? Here`s the ultimate test and a lively tribute to the master: a symphonic compilation entitled `Reflections` that quotes and cross references about a dozen or so Shostakovich scores. The listener may marvel at how Vyacheslav Nagovitsin, the composer, manages to interweave the quotes so skillfully and seamlessly. It`s a fun ride. Can you identify each of the quotes as they appear?
Symphony 8 for strings, trumpet and bell, 1985. This features Saulius Sondeckis conducting the Lithuanian CO and is taken from C10-24919, a disc that also includes Slonimsky`s Violin Concerto and Monody for solo violin.

This may be a recording of the premiere of Slonimsky`s 21st Symphony, which took place in the Mariinsky Theater on 17 January 2010 during the `New Horizons` festival under the baton of Valery Gergiev.
The composer says about his 21st Symphony: `... to me it seems that the essence of the symphony is enclosed in the idea that it is a musical diary, without words, about our time and about our very dreadful era.`

It is a genuine treat to hear this version of Kursk Songs arranged for piano and percussion. One of Sviridov`s masterpieces, I have come to love both this and the familiar orchestral version.
P.S. I find it odd that the arrangement of numbers in this piano version of the Kursk Songs is different from the order found in the full orchestral version, as represented by the Yurlov version posted here and by the more widely circulated Kondrashin version. I would hazard a guess that the order Sviridov chose for the orchestral score came later, as I believe it to be a better choice, leading to a greater sense of continuity. Anyone have further information about these two versions? (the music contained within is otherwise identical) Either way, Kursk Songs contains some of the most evocative lyricism to flow from Sviridov`s exquisitely inspired pen.

Indispensable Sviridov. Poem in Memory of Sergei Esenin is one of the great choral works of Russian music, it should be much much better known. How glorious that we have multiple performances here to compare and enjoy.

I was incredibly moved by this private recording of the composer himself playing and singing his song, Hello Russia. In addition to a genuine from-the-source authenticity, one hears a personal passion and longing melancholy that could only have come from the composer himself. If there is any recording that captures the very soul of this remarkable composer, this is it. If you are a devotee of Sviridov`s music, this performances will leave an unforgettable impression.
