Maxim Vengerov Plays Bach, Schedrin, Ysaÿe (2002) more music like this

performed by Maxim Vengerov (violin)
composed by Eugène Ysaÿe, Johann Sebastian Bach, Rodion Shchedrin

For some people, a whole disc of solo violin music is more solo violin music than they ever want to hear. For those people, this disc by the Russian virtuoso Maxim Vengerov comes highly recommended: 66 minutes of virtuoso violin playing and all of it fascinating music. The four solo sonatas by Eugène Ysaÿe that open the disc are astoundingly ...

Shchedrin: Carmen Suite (1994) more music like this

performed by Catherine Perrin (harpsichord), Ensemble Repercussion, I Musici de Montréal, Yuli Turovsky (conductor)
composed by Joaquín Turina, Rodion Shchedrin

This isn't the Carmen you're used to hearing. Shchedrin's re-working of Bizet's original music uses a lot of percussion, sort of Bizet-meets-Bartók. It adds a new dimension to the oh-so-familiar themes, but one that seems obvious for its use as ballet music. Granted, it does have its silly moments, when the melody is played on the marimba, ...

performed by Gergely Bodoky (flute), Judith Simonis (alto), Lorenz Wüsthof (vocals), René Voßkühler (tenor), Richard Schwennicke (vocals), Sophie Klußmann (soprano), Stefan Parkman (conductor)
composed by Rodion Shchedrin

Russian composer Rodion Shchedrin (pronounced "Sh-CHAY-dreen") has seen it all; the discrediting of composers in the middle Soviet period, the gradual thaw against "formalist" techniques later on, Perestroika, and beyond. From the period of Perestroika comes his cantata The Sealed Angel, presented here by the Berlin Radio Choir under the direction ...

Around the Fugue (2006) more music like this

performed by Lilia Boyadjieva (piano)
composed by César Franck, Cynthia Lee Wong, Dmitry Shostakovich, Felix Mendelssohn, Franz Liszt, Johann Sebastian Bach, Rodion Shchedrin

Perhaps you've always hoped a keyboardist would mount a program like this, exploring the meaning of the fugue (or, more specifically, the prelude and fugue) as it has recurred throughout musical history since Bach's time. Even if Bulgarian-French pianist Lilia Boyadjieva doesn't address the issues exactly rigorously, it's still intriguing to hear ...

performed by Kremlin Chamber Orchestra, Misha Rachlevsky (conductor)
composed by Rodion Shchedrin

A witty ballet for the Bolshoi, Rodion Shchedrin's Carmen Suite for string orchestra and percussion (1967) certainly must rank as one of his most creative and satisfying experiments. Shchedrin's boldly overhauled orchestration, clever alterations of rhythmic details, and occasional humorous touches -- such as the rude insertion of the Farandole ...

A disc of Spanish music from Russian performers living in Montreal is really no surprise; more than any other European national school, Spain's was a collaborative effort between homegrown composers and those who envied Iberia's warm climate and diverse folk traditions from afar. Violonchelo Español, in fact, includes music by Russian composers ...
