Have just purchased Salmanov symphonies which I thoroughly enjoyed. The First is an epic work in the Myaskovsky, Shebalin mould which I have played over and over again since getting the set a week ago. No 2 I knew from a Russian Disc CD; also excellent, perhaps showing more influence of Shostakovich (the dedicatee) and inspired by nature. No 3 is perhaps a bit less convincing although still enjoyable and the valedictory No 4 is moving in an understated way, especially the finale. Mravinsky was a friend of Salmanov and recorded all the symphonies. The recordings are slightly boxed in in that characteristic soviet era way with braying horns etc but it all adds to the atmosphere. Salmanov's music has a searching/visionary quality to it, which I find most appealing.
I'm very glad to have made aquaintance with these powerful and memorable scores. Any other admirers of Salmanov?

Sorry not to have replied earlier! I do have the Salmanov symphonies in my collection and shall play them again to remind myself what exactly they sound like(I can only remember the boxy recordings at present!
(Had my nephew to stay over the weekend so had to endure listening to modern jazz-oh how I do detest it!!)

Thanks for reply :) Thought this thread would be a strong candidate for a zero response!
I have now had a chance to listen again to Salmanov's 1st and 4th symphonies-which you particularly recommended.
Yes, I can understand the attraction of the 1st-it is in a pleasantly post-Miaskovsky vein and is certainly a sound example of a Soviet symphony(as opposed to the hack works of many others from the same period). I was more struck though by the 4th and, particularly, by its very beautiful last movement(of course, the improved recording of that work does help here!). As with Miaskovsky in his 27th there seems a sense of the composer "saying farewell"-Salmanov was dead a year later.
Mravinsky was a fantastic conductor with pretty impeccable taste-albeit he wouldn't conduct the Shostakovich 4th or 13th symphonies' premieres! Clearly he believed sufficiently in Salmanov to premiere all four of the symphonies.
A much better composer than Khrennikov-probably better symphonies than those by Kabalevsky(although I haven't actually heard his 3rd or 4th!). Worth exploring by those who might like this type of music!

Odd about Mravinsky and Shostakovich No 4 and 13. Of the post-Miaskovsky symphonies, Shebalin Nos 1 and 5 are favourites but don't write off Kabalevsky No 4. A much more interesting work than it has been given credit for, in my view. It cries out for a modern recording (Chandos?). There was an old Olympia with the Leningrad PO with Kabalevsky (on a double CD with Kabalevsky's, admittedly rather turgid, Requiem). My colleague has now borrowed my Salmanov set (try No 2 also) and I look forward to listening to No 4 again. I have played No 1 a lot. I find something oddly touching about it.
I like the Shebalin symphonies. Shebalin seems to have been a composer of both substance and principle who certainly deserves respect.
Sadly, another Russian composer who died prematurely(aged 60).
As I said, I have never heard Kabalevsky's 3rd or 4th symphonies. Surprised that they have not received modern recordings.
Mravinsky and Shostakovich? Mravinsky certainly refused to conduct the premiere of the 13th symphony in 1962(that difficult task was undertaken by Kondrashin) and his decision was taken for apparently political reasons. The 13th, with its use of Yevtushenko's poem 'Babi Yar' and the direct criticism of Soviet anti-semitism, was always going to be a 'hot potato'. Khrushchev was openly hostile and Mravinsky seems to have decided to avoid becoming implicated. This lead to a serious rift between the composer and a conductor
who had previously been entrusted with most Shostakovich premieres(the 8th symphony is dedicated to Mravinsky). He did later record the 15th symphony but not-as far as I know-the 4th or 14th.
I've a Russian Disc CD with Salmanov's SQ 1,3 and 4 by the great
Taneyev SQ. Splendid works!.

The Taneyev Quartet has recorded Salmanov and Basner. Any more reviews of Salmanov SQs...and what of Basner?
This composer is a new name to me,and sounds interesting.
The name Salmanov indicates that he may have been from the Soviet Union but not ethnically Russian,possibly Tatar. Do you know aything about this?
Melodiya have just issued Mravinsky's recordings of Salmanov's symphonies, which I recommend to those who like Shostakovich, Miaskovsky and Shebalin. No 1 and 4 are especially good but I enjoy them all.

Kudos for bringing this set to our attention. I don't think I've heard one note of Salmanov's music. I love Soviet music, so this will be something I'm going to keep my eye on. Comes out tomorrow here in the US. Sweet!

Thank you for the news. I like Salmanov's string quartets, so I want to check his symphonies, too. The recordings were done in 1957-1977. Is the sound quality good? Are they in stereo?

No. 1 (1945) is bold, tragic and romantic. I was fascinated from the dramatic beginning to the grand finale. Andante movement is very beautiful, with subtly dissonant beginning and ending, and a climax in the middle.
No. 2 (1958) was dedicated to his friend who died young. It starts with a slow movement of sad and beautiful melodies, then Shostakovich-like, ironic sounding Allegro. The last movement is again slow, but this time a little more abstract.
After hearing No. 1 & 2, I was surprised by No. 3 (1961). It's more dissonant and anguish. I felt it a bit monotonic, but it is very powerful.
I got Vol. 2 (No. 4-5) recently and need to listen to it more, but my impression was that No. 4 (1963) & No. 5 (1968) have similar atmosphere as No. 3: more atonal, dissonant, mechanical. Then, No. 6 (1971) returns to be melodic, and even merry sometimes. It is the easiest to ears. I don't know what is the background of this.
Overall, the music is solid, bold and energetic. Probably Vol. 1 (No. 1-3) is more interesting with a wide variety but all is worth hearing, IMO.
Thanks for this thread, courtesy of Youtube I have listened to the Symphony No.2 and the String Quartet No.6 and I can add Salmonov to my list of Composers Who Really Can Compose*. The quartet I found particularly beautiful with stylised bird-song in it, like the Britten 3rd Quartet, and like that work it was written shortly before the composer's death.
I'll certainly be getting the two SQ disks. As to the box of symphonies, are they live performances? The ones on Youtube seem to be and the usual soviet bronchitis clinic audience is a bit off-putting with their hacking and rasping.
As an amusing footnote I note that the subtitle of No.2 on Youtube is "The Call of Nature", fortunately I went before I began listening ;D
* Of the soviet composers I like best Shostacovitch, Eshpai, Ivanovs (Latvian) and most of the the Georgian and Armenian composers whom we know of (who names I can never remember).
Thanks very much John, Calyptorhynchus (did I spell that right?), Torut, Snyprr and Cilgwyn. I think that I had more replies since yesterday than over several months/years on the original thread :).
I have not received the new Melodiya yet but have been listening to all the symphonies on an older CD manifestation. The recordings are a bit boxed-in and raucous but this oddly adds to the soviet atmosphere of the project. All the symphonies are worthwhile and I was quite wrong about No. 3 in my original posting. No. 1 remains my favourite - a powerful, moving and eloquent work and the valedictory No. 4 I find rather moving. Presumably Mravinsky's must have had faith in these works. The original IM Lab release suggests that all the recordings are live (1950-1977).
Thanks for your feedback, Jeffrey.
I heard Salmanov's symphonies for the first time. Frankly speaking, the sound of Symphony No. 1 (recorded in 1957) is too dated and it muddles at loud sections. No. 2 sounds fine (maybe because the music is less aggressive?) The sound of No. 3 and No. 4 are good enough for me. I liked No. 4 the most. The strings part is beautiful. No. 1 is surely powerful, but the poor sound prevented me from fully enjoying it.
Symphony No. 1 in D minor (1952) rec. 20 Mar 1957
Symphony No. 2 in G major (1959) rec. 30 Sept 1960
Symphony No. 3 in A minor (1963) rec. 24 May 1964
Symphony No. 4 in B minor (1972) rec. 28 Jan 1977
The fact that all the symphonies were recorded within 1~5 years after they were composed seems to indicate that Salmanov's music was highly regarded.
These symphonies (especially No. 1) should be re-recorded by a contemporary orchestra with good sound quality.

Thanks for posting. I have just received the Melodiya set and I find the recordings clearer and with less distortion than in the earlier set (see my initial posting) but I agree that a new recording, especially of Symphony No.1 is needed. However this is probably wishful thinking. In the meantime I would recommend the Melodiya set.

Just been listening to the valedictory 4th Symphony, the last movement of which is especially poignant and eloquent. It should appeal to admirers of Shostakovich and Bartok.
I'm quite impressed with the 2nd Symphony. It's got the classic wit of Shostakovitch and some very exciting rhythms. The final movement of the 4th is also very picturesque. I like the frequent use of bass to infuse added drama to the various episodes throughout the 4th.

Thanks for the response. I like the First Symphony too (No.3 is the weakest I think) although the one available recording is not very well recorded.
Salmanov learned to play the piano as a child from his father. At 18, he was about to attend the Leningrad Conservatory when he decided to study geology instead, eventually working as a geologist until 1935 when he finally decided to attend the Conservatory where he studied composition with Mikhail Gnesin. After graduating, he worked as a composer until the onset of World War II, when he enlisted in the Soviet Army. After the war, he set poems by Blok and Yesenin relating to the war. Later on in his life, Salmanov set poems by Federico García Lorca and Pablo Neruda as well as by Soviet poets.
Salmanov's Symphony No. 1 in D minor was written in 1952 and dedicated to the conductor Evgeny Mravinsky, who would go on to record all of his symphonies. The work uses Slavic folk melodies and a motto theme heard at the beginning of the first movement recurs in the Finale. His Symphony No. 4 was likewise dedicated to Mravinsky.
Although not nearly as political as Tikhon Khrennikov, Salmanov held various political appointments, including Secretary of a Composers' Union. He also taught at the Leningrad Conservatory, his alma mater.
