Composers & Music / Re: Eižens Buke / Evgeny Bukke...

Quote from: eschiss1 on Wednesday 01 May 2024, 14:18The only recording Worldcat lists of what may be the same Bukke is perhaps something related to the finale of Khovanschina- an arrangement?- in which e.l.bukke is a performer... (that could be e.i.bukke?)

His father's name was Ivan, so in Russia (though not Latvia) his middle name would have been Ivanovich. And in his lifetime he was better known as a conductor, so maybe he was performing in that capacity?

Voices from the East: Ukraine
Sun 19 May, 7.30pm
Part of Voices from the East
Royal Festival Hall

de Hartmann: Selection from La Fleurette Rouge Suite
Anna Korsun: Terricone
Lyatoshinsky: Symphony No.4


Discover heartfelt works by some of Ukraine's finest composers with the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra and conductor Kirill Karabits, presented by Tom Service.

In the last of today's three concerts bringing the orchestra's acclaimed series Voices from the East to London, the Ukrainian conductor Kirill Karabits celebrates music by his compatriot composers that displays a wealth of colour, narrative and emotional power.

To open, there's music by Thomas de Hartmann, a prolific composer of works sacred, secular and cinematic, and a disciple of the spiritual teacher Gurdjieff.

His ballet La Fleurette Rouge was first performed for Tsar Nicholas, starring the dancers Nijinsky, Pavlova and Fokine.

Next comes Tericone by Anna Korsun. Born in Donetsk and educated in Kyiv, she's a fast-rising star of the younger generation.

Boris Lyatoshinsky was one of Ukrainian music's most important 20th-century figures and his five symphonies are a cornerstone of its orchestral repertoire.

Though ostracised in the USSR, Lyatoshinsky continued to write music that pushed far beyond the narrow boundaries of 'soviet realism'.

Much of his work went unperformed for years. This is a rare chance to hear his opulent, fantastical Symphony No.4.

This concert is part of Voices from the East, a day-long exploration of forgotten orchestral masterpieces from Ukraine and its surrounding regions.


(The other two concerts, on the same day, feature music by composers from Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan, Georgia and Armenia - but none are from the era/style that this forum would appreciate!)

Quote from: Martin Eastick on Tuesday 30 April 2024, 12:37It would surely bring the house down at the Proms!

So instead they programme Sam Smith  ::)
