Symphony No. 8

Concerto for violin, piano & string orchestra, Op. 144
W/Chingiz Osmanov (violin) & Nikolai Mazhara (piano)

Three Songs to Poems of Marina Tsvetayeva
W/Mila Shkirtil (mezzo-soprano)

Boris Tishchenko was one of the most recognisable and important Russian composers of his time. His studies with Shostakovich – whose mantle as Russia’s leading symphonist he assumed after his teacher’s death in 1975 – proved decisive. Symphony No. 8, one of his last completed works, was written to be performed immediately after Schubert’s ‘Unfinished’ Symphony to which it makes reference. The Concerto for Violin, Piano and String Orchestra is rich in emotional depth, lyricism and dance rhythms while Three Songs to Poems by Marina Tsvetayeva intriguingly fuses popular song with Russian romance.

"This is a work of tremendous substance and depth, given an excellent performance by both orchestra and soloists."
The Classical Reviewer - 1st February 2017

"It is hard to imagine anyone setting these three poems more successfully since they are perfect in every way; superbly atmospheric, wonderfully tuneful and giving full weight to the words."
