Herrarte,

Those works mentioned are mouth-watering !
I do have the Lyatoshynsky works as well as the Kosenkos. As well i have the lp with the 11 etudes in the old form. Perhaps i can post by interest of any member here.
The Korganov seems interesting too ! Another one of those contemporaries of Lysenko.
Please do upload the Alexandrov works mentioned. Its very interesting.
I can upload a prelude by alexandrov, which i do not have any idea on the op number. And its a prelude written in name of Samuel Feinberg.

All best,

Tony

Will do, the Alexandrov and let you know.

I also have the Lysenko piano album I promised,

E. Rzanov, soloist

Dream (Of sweet honey),
Elegy
Gavotte
Song without words
There's a boat, full of water
2nd Rhapsody on an Ukrainian song
Sad song
From the sea.

and I think I have a Melodiya album of Taras Bulba (must be the same one that's on Youtube) somewhere, plus tons of more russian music, and rarities I just have to look through it.

[eschiss1]

this is Alexandrov whose output includes 2 symphonies and at least 10 piano sonatas, not the other Alexandrov who wrote a national anthem, yes? (And if anyone has a recording of those symphonies and/or piano sonatas, I'd like to hear them too - I've skimmed the scores of one of the symphonies and some of the sonatas...)

[fyrexia]

Yes, the alexandrov here we talk is Anatoly Alexandrov. Author of at least 14 piano sonatas, 2 symphonies and a piano concerto, as well as several music for film.
I shall post the 1st symphony around this week.

Tony

Herrarte,

Can you mention the op.number if possible or available in the album of the works by Lysenko?

Tony

[herrarte]

I will look for the LP later, in the meantime I have found another LP with Alexandrov's Aquarelle Op.66/2,
Fairy lullaby Op.33/1, Humoresque, Op.33/4 and the Sonata-Skazka Op.13, Peiko's Ballade, A Suite by Galynin and Feinberg's Rhapsody on Kabardino-Balkarsk Themes Op.15, Bogoslovsky Vassily Terkin Symphonic Tale and found out the Balanchivadze Suite Name... 12 Romantic Piano Pieces.

I am also ready to upload the first Alexandrov LP. Will send word (link).

Let you know when I find the LP, it's somewhere here.

Later,

[fyrexia]

The alexandrov and peiko sounds intriguing. I do have a recording of the Peiko piano sonata no.2, if anyone would be interested. Toccata classics has peiko complete piano works on their pipeline !
I just uploaded the Alexandrov Symphony No.1 in the Russian and Soviet Thread.

All best,

Tony

[eschiss1]

wonder how many different efforts there have been to license the Soviet Radio archives for western CD use - at least 3 and perhaps several more yet in the last 20 years, I think, though some may have been more above-board than others, I gather.  Erm. Anyways...

Fyrexia,

Looking a t the Alexandrov Lp I mentioned before that contains the Aquarelle, Op.66/2...
It also has the Sonata No4, and No.8,  the performer is Victor Bunin.
I am also looking at the Lysenko LP and nowhere there's a mention of the tracks' Opus numbers. I will scan it and send a .jpeg so you can see.
I also located  an 10" lp that contains the N. Rakov Sonatina No.4 in C minor played by Dmitri Blagoy.

I will upload the remaining Alexandrov tomorrow and to answer your question I DON"T have the Suite of Diary Pages.

Cheers,

[fyrexia]

Thanks herrarrte. I would be very very interesting to hear and also compare the performance of the 4th sonata by bunin and hamish milne on hyperion.
Although from the early sonatas my favorite remains no.3. And no2 and 4 is on second place !
Please let me hear this wonderful sonatas. Also the eight sonata. I play it myself during free times. The third movement resembles very very much to the 3rd movement of the piano concerto op.102.
I can upload some recordings of rakov`s sonatina for piano and violin. I hope members would be interested !
I am deeply interested in hearing several of rakov sonatinas. As i have the scores i must enjoy them with it along. Although a friend did send me a recording of a sonatina, but it was totally not identical to the score. So i am still wondering if this scores are not actually the rakov sonatinas. But i must hear it to know.

Would you happen to have the lp of bunin play a particular sonata by alexandrov that comes with 12 preludes by Sergei Ryazorenov (Ryazoryonov)?
Victor Bunin has definitely recorded some of the music i most want to hear, and composers and admire/enjoy very much.

All best,

Tony
