5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful stuff!, 3 Jan 2008
By Jeffrey Davis "jmd555555" (Sussex UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
This is the second release in the Alto issues of Myaskovsky symphonies and all credit to them for picking up the torch after the sad collapse of Olympia (and issuing the remaining CDs at bargain price.)

Symphony 16 is a major utterance by Myaskovsky; written in 1936, at the height of the stalinist purges, it commemorates the loss of the massive aircraft "Maxim Gorky" following a mid-air collision. As such it shows the composer trying to come to terms with the regime by writing more "populist" music. Having said that and unlike some other composers, Myaskovsky never sacrificed his integrity and the symphony retains the familar soulful and introspective characteristics of the introverted composer. The funereal slow movement is a wonderful inspiration and contains one of those haunting Myaskovsky themes which remain in the memory long afterwards. It is one of my favourite movements in the whole cycle of Myaskovsky symphonies.

The 19th symphony for brass band is great fun but also a work of considerable depth, especially in the middle two movements (which Myaskovsky later arranged for conventional orchestra). Svetlanov and the Russian Federation Academic Symphony Orchestra (the rather long-winded name of what was once the USSR Symphony Orchestra), give fine performances of both works. The wonderfully informative notes are by the late Per Skans (whose sad death in 2007 is mentioned in the booklet).
