I would also like to mention some other hard-to-find and easy-to-confuse YT uploads of works by Vasilenko:

Individual movements of the Clarinet Concerto, Op. 135 exist in no small number on YT, all with piano accompaniment, but almost none contains the whole work. But after listening with score from IMSLP this Central Asian performance (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zcNiXiuzEC4), I believe this a complete Clarinet Concerto recording (though still with piano accompaniment) I can find.

This Suite on Chinese Themes (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DXfn-43jfZc), labelled on LP as Op. 138 (https://www.discogs.com/release/10748920-S-Vasilenko-V-Vlasov-Suite-On-Chinese-Themes-Rhapsody-On-Rumanian-Themes-A-Piece-On-Slovakian-Themes), is actually listed in the IMSLP worklist as a work without opus («Сюита на китайские народные темы» (1954)). Op. 138 is now occupied by the Springtime Suite for Flute & Orchestra. But  that maybe could be an alteration made later. And this is NOT the Chinese Suite (No. 1) on Naxos. They are totally different, and the former has only 5 movements, the latter has 6.

Finally, there's a new performance of the Piano Concerto in the end of 2023 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wXjOUVbqfs4)
