Interactive Russian Symphony Game (Selection and Voting Thread)

[Sammy]

The first order of business is to select 15 Russian symphonies; subsequently, our game will commence.

Selection Rules:

1.  Select one or two Russian symphonies on a daily basis.

2.  Once you have selected a particular symphony, you may not pick it again - one and done.

3.  If and when that symphony is selected by 2 other game participants, it will be included in the game.

My two picks today:

Shostakovich - Symphony no. 15 in A major, op. 141 (1)
Stravinsky - Symphony in Three Movements (1)

Tchaikovsky - Symphony No. 5 in E minor, Op. 64

I assume that the Rachmaninov  Second Symphony is desired, and not an echo for the Tchaikovsky Fifth ?



Prokofiev - Symphony #2

Taneyev - Symphony #2

[some guy]

Yes, I was wondering when someone would read these and wonder about that fifth Rachmaninoff symphony. (And that means that there's a heretofore unknown fourth symphony as well, eh? This is big! This could be bigger than Sibelius' 8th!!

Well, enough from me. I have to get back to collating authentic sightings of unicorns.

[mc ukrneal]

Borodin Symphony No.2
Shostakovich Symphony No. 5

That would  RACH the house, Dude! 

[ComposerOfAvantGarde]

When I listen to Russian music, it's barely ever a symphony. Sometimes, however, I do get a certain fondness for the 'symphonic' output of Ustvolskaya, Schnittke, Stravinsky, Prokofiev and Shostakovich.

Schittke: Symphony no. 1
Prokofiev: Symphony no. 2

The Prokofiev already has its 3 selections for inclusion in the game.  Feel free to select another one today.

Oh right, I didn't notice. It's certainly a popular one.

My other choice today will be Shostakovich's 4th
