¡KARAYEV, K.: Symphony No. 1 / Violin Concerto
¡Classical V.A.
Description
[Machine Translation] Composed in 1943, "Symphony No. 1" is one of Kalaev's masterpieces. The work is full of energy, with folk-like melodies developing organically, sometimes wildly, sometimes with nostalgic harmonies, making full use of the capabilities of the instruments in the orchestra. The other piece, "Violin Concerto," was composed in 1967, after Kalaev's first visit to the United States in 1961, where he met Stravinsky and was strongly influenced by him. The style of his compositions changed dramatically, with percussion playing an active role in both Symphony No. 3, composed in 1964, and the Violin Concerto. The strong violin passages, expressive woodwind section, and other aspects of this modern work strongly suggest the neoclassical style of music.
