Composers & Music / Re: Eižens Buke / Evgeny Bukke...
Last post by eschiss1 - 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?)

Composers & Music / Voices from the East - concert...
Last post by Christopher - Tuesday 30 April 2024, 18:32Just noticed this:
https://www.southbankcentre.co.uk/whats-on/festivals-series/classical-season/voices-east
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!)

Last post by Alan Howe - Tuesday 30 April 2024, 17:36Quote 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

Last post by Christopher - Tuesday 30 April 2024, 15:23Quote from: semloh on Tuesday 30 April 2024, 13:38Hmm... he certainly looks out of place, sandwiched between Elgar and Tchaikovsky! But then the Proms have a history of odd choices.
And in what way would you say he looks out of place Semloh?!
Am very glad, however, about the Farrenc and Busoni concerts Alan has listed, will certainly seek to go to those.
