Giovanni Paisiello - Nina O Sia la Pazza Per Amore [COMPACT DISCS] date 01/01/1989

Nikolai Peyko (1916-95) Is a Major Russian Composer Completely Unknown in the West. He Is Another Composer Who Wrote Nine Symphonies, and Much Other Orchestral Music Besides, But Fell Foul of the Soviet Regime and Was Sidelined. His Piano Music Shares Certain Characteristics with Both Shostakovich's and Prokofiev's, But Sounds An Individual Tone Nonetheless. This Second and Final CD in This Complete Recording of His Piano Music Is the First Time That Any of This Music Has Been Heard Recorded on a Western tag.

Concert Variations - Dmitry Korostelyov/Maria Dzhemesiuk

2009 two CD . The recordings contained in this set of Shostakovich's Fifth, Sixth and Seventh Symphonies were all made soon after the first performances of each work, and have an authenticity as well as a musical immediacy that later recordings inevitably have lacked, good as they may be. These recordings stand as unique sound documents in the history of the interpretation of Shostakovich's music. In addition they testify to Stokowski's own personal style as an interpreter of this composer's works. Shostakovich held Stokowski in high esteem as an exponent of his music. Album Tracks 1.
