A pearl of Russian Romanticism, performed by the legendary conductor Evgeny Svetlanov and the State Academic Symphony Orchestra of the USSR (GASO). This is a benchmark recording, conveying the full depth and soulfulness of the music of a composer who tragically passed away early. The Symphony in G minor is Kalinnikov's magnum opus, written in 1895. It combines epic scope, an affinity for folk melodies, and refined lyricism. The first movement (Allegro moderato) begins with a stern, epic introduction, which develops into a passionate and melodious main part. The second movement (Andante commodamente) is the heart of the symphony, one of the most beautiful and heartfelt slow movements in all of Russian music, full of light and a touch of melancholy. The third movement (Scherzo. Allegro non troppo) is fast-paced and joyful, and the finale (Allegro moderato) builds on this energy, leading to a triumphant and affirming conclusion. Yevgeny Svetlanov, an outstanding contemporary conductor, pianist, and composer, was a passionate advocate of Russian heritage. His interpretation with the USSR State Symphony Orchestra is distinguished by its monumentality, perfect vocal balance, and incredible warmth. This performance is rightfully considered a classic of the Russian conducting school and a must-hear for all classical music lovers.
