Very fine recordings of a Living Composer!.......2003-10-22

In these Live recordings from the Large Hall of the Moscow Conservatory from 1981, 1989, 1992 and 1990 of Georgi Dmitriev (1942 - )'s works. . .

I think the choral Vespers (1976-90) are the most successful works on this programme, but also like the Warsaw Fantasy and Symphony No. 3 (1989). The Vespers are in the tradition of Russian Orthodox music - thick homophonic texture (8 parts?). In the Violin Concerto, the music is provocative, but I didn't care for the tone of the solo instrument (violin) - it seemed a little thin. I don't think this is the fault of the performer, but maybe this work would be more successful with a mellower instrument.

The Symphony No. 3 "Misterioso" is very intriguing, and the only thing I can compare it to, since I have a limited knowledge of modern orchestral music, is perhaps the work of John Corigliano. It is well-orchestrated with nice touches, and seem to be atmospheric rather than thematic in construction.

The Warsaw Fantasy is very successful extended piece inspired by the Polish political events of the epoch (1983 - the struggle of Solidarity, etc) that includes quotations from Chopin and Wieniawski

The audience applause might have been excluded from the recording track, as it is rather tepid (the sort of applause that greets most modern orchestral works, until a following is established).

Good music but average recordings.......1999-11-10

I took a chance on this CD without hearing a single word about it (just try to find a review on this, I dare you). Dmitriev's musical style is strong and very Russian in a tonal style. Don't confuse the musical language as being old fashion - he certainly has a mastery of modern music vocabulary. The symphony is full of percussion, brass, and dramatic pulses set within an richly atmospheric sound world. He certainly has a good grasp of orchestration and technique pushing and spotlighting each instrument. I definately want to hear more by this composer. The music has strong atmousphere and good form.

Album Description

Water Lily Acoustics is proud to present the legendary orchestras of St Petersburg, Russia, in live concert recordings which capture the excitement and sense of occasion of attending a live performance as no studio recording can. The philosophical and technical ethos of the Water Lily approach to recording is, here, perhaps for the first time, given free rein to produce a musical experience unparalleled in its realism and impact. Forged from the precious metals of the opulent age of the Czars, and tempered in the crucible of Communism, the orchestras of the former Soviet Union occupy a position in world culture that is truly unique. It is a privilege to be the first American record company to have captured the essence of these great orchestras in their native city.

The Russian Sound.......2001-04-24

When I ordered this disc, I never heard of Georgy Dmitriev and frankly I have forgotten what led me to him. This is exciting music. A bit of background. Dmitriev was born in 1942 in Krasnodar in southern Russia near the Caucasus. On the recommendation of Dmitry Shostakovich, in 1961 he entered the composer' faculty of the Moscow State Consevatoire. He likely toed the line during the Soviet regime as in 1988 he was elected chairman of the Board of the Moscow branch of the Composer's Union. During his tenure he did organize several musical festivals which included concerts of previously forbidden Orthodox choral music. He is a prolific composer and the music is very "Russian", easy to listen to and a great way to try out ones stereo system. The music is a combination of Russian folk and liturgical, film score (he wrote music for some 30 motion pictures) with touches of Mussorsky and other Russian composers. You will not be bored. The Tchaikovsky Great Academic symphony orchestra is under the very capable leadership of Vladimir Fedoseyev. The disc is well recorded
