Composer Discussion / Re: Boris Tishchenko (1939 - 2...
Last post by Roy Bland - Today at 05:20:44 PMOn April 24, to mark the anniversary of the St. Petersburg composer-"sixties" Boris Tishchenko, a creative meeting and presentation of the memoirs of the composer's widow Irina Donskaya-Tishchenko and a music album with romances by Boris Ivanovich based on poems by Anna Akhmatova will take place at the One and a Half Room museum by Joseph Brodsky. The album also included a romance based on the words of Joseph Brodsky, in whose vocal part Tishchenko brilliantly reproduced in notes the manner of his beloved friend reading poetry.
The creative meeting and presentation on April 24, at 12:30, will be attended by Honored Artist of Russia Irina Donskaya-Tishchenko, Rector of the St. Petersburg Conservatory. Rimsky-Korsakov Alexey Vasiliev, conductor and composer Anton Lubchenko, music producer of the Balt-Music publishing house Oleg Grabko.
Honored Artist of Russia Irina Donskaya-Tishchenko, a famous harpist and professor at the St. Petersburg Conservatory, was Boris Tishchenko's companion and muse, faithful companion and wife for 33 years. Irina Anatolyevna was the first listener of his works and edited the harp parts in all his works. A large number of works by Boris Ivanovich are dedicated to her, including the Concerto for Harp and Orchestra and the Concerto for Violin and Orchestra (Symphony Concertante). All this makes her memoirs "The Running of Time of Boris Tishchenko" interesting both as deeply personal memories of a prominent representative of the Leningrad-St. Petersburg cultural elite, and as evidence of a certain historical period, and, of course, from a musicological point of view.

Last post by Symphonic Addict - Today at 05:14:33 PMPaul Dessau's two symphonies
Yet another seldom mentioned composer whose fame apparently lies more on his orchestration of a Mozart's string quintet. I must say that these two symphonies exceeded my expectations, above all the first one in one movement. From the very emphatic opening one is hooked and the subsequent material (including some counterpoint) makes it very cohesive. The 2nd Symphony sounds a little more modernist, but it still is rather tonal.
Two appealing discoveries today.

I can't hear my Ethernet, so it's probably audiophile.
