State Philharmonic Orchestra Minsk Ponnelle - Fantasieouverturen - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

This new showcases the stylistic similarities and differences between two powerhouse composers- Gustav Mahler, and Dmitri Shostakovich. Mahler's Symphony No. 10 (Adagio) is paired with Shostakovich's Symphony No. 5. The National Philharmonic Minsk was founded in 1930 and is one of Russia's most renowned orchestras. As one of only three orchestras the National Philharmonic Minsk beared the honorary title InchAcademic OrchestraInch during the Soviet Government. The repertoire of the 120 musicians includes not only important works of the Classic and Romantic periods, but also compositions by contemporary Russian composers and, in collaboration with the Philharmonic Chorus, the great works of the chorale literature.

Tchaikovsky's The Voyevode was first performed on November 18, 1891 in Moscow in a concert under the direction of Alexander Siloti. Although the dances were enthusiastically received, the symphonic ballad was a complete failure. The next day, the composer destroyed the score. However, Siloti still had the orchestral parts, thus making it possible to reconstruct the score after Tchaikovsky's death. In 1882 Milij Balakirev encouraged Tchaikovsky to consider the possibilities of the InchManfredInch narrative. Over three years, Tchaikovsky worked to set this story to music. He completed the score on October 4, 1885. The work was a grandiose success, and the composer was enthusiastically acclaimed.
