Collection: Symphony Subcollection: Orchestra Firma Melodiya presents a set of selected symphonies by Nikolai Myaskovsky.
This composer’s music is not widely popular today, but he belongs in the group of Russia’s brightest music talents of the first half of the 20th century. His music organically combines old and new, traditions of classical music culture and keenness of expressionism, high tragedy of Beethoven and Tchaikovsky and boldness of avant-garde music. Dmitri Shostakovich considered Mayskovsky “the major symphonist after Mahler”, and Sergei Prokofiev wrote that Myaskovsky “was somewhat more a philosopher - his music is wise, passionate, gloomy and self-absorbed”.
Symphony was the most important genre to the composer. His twenty-seven symphonies, composed over a 40 year period, are a sort of personal diary, reflecting the complicated and winding path of his artistic evolution. At the same time, they are a music chronicle of the age, a response of the big artist to the most significant historic and cultural events of the time.
The set includes six symphonies from Myaskovsky’s later period (1935 to 1950) - Nos 16, 17, 21, 22, 25 and 27 - performed by the USSR State Academic Symphony Orchestra conducted by the outstanding Evgeny Svetlanov (the only conductor in the world to record all of Myaskovsky’s symphonies) and his predecessor in the State Orchestra, Konstantin Ivanov, one of the major representatives of the Soviet conducting school.

Symphony No. 16 in F major, Op.39 - Konstantin Ivanov, conductor
Symphony No. 17 in G sharp minor, Op. 41 - Evgeny Svetlanov, conductor

There is no doubt that the singer is one of today’s most brilliant vocalists of Russia and the world. A People’s Artist of Russia and the Republic of Abkhazia, a winner of the Golden Mask, Casta Diva, Triumph and Golden Orpheus awards, a welcome and longed-for guest of the greatest operatic and concert stages worldwide, she has performed at the Mariinsky Theatre in Saint Petersburg, the Wiener Staatsoper, the Bayerische Staatsoper in Munich, Covent Garden and Metropolitan Opera, the Théâtre du Châtelet and Théâtre des Champs Elysées in Paris, the Teatro dell’Opera di Roma in Rome and Teatro Comunale di Firenze in Florence, the Gran Teatre del Liceu in Barcelona, the Palau de les Arts Reina Sofia in Valencia, the NHK Hall in Tokyo, and took part in the closing ceremony of the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi.

The singer’s new programme fully unveils a vivid and rich period of Russian music of the late 19th and the first quarter of the 20th centuries.
