Straight down memory lane, L-L! Charlie Kunz and, yes, My Prayer, prompts memories of our bakelite Ecko wireless in the 30s. Another popular pianist was Kay Cavendish - Kay on the Keys - and her lovely velvety voice, too. Next stop from here is Grand Hotel on a Sunday evening with Albert Sandler introducing his ensemble after opening with an arrangement of Roses from the South. Likely to stimulate interest with your parents!

Boris Tishchenko
Symphony No 7
St Petersburg Academic Symphony Orchestra,Edward Serov
Piano Sonata No 8
Vladimir Polyakov
String Quartet No 4
Glazunov Quartet
All available on you tube.
A wonderful evening's listening.
Occasional hints of DCSH,some Mahlerish moments in the symphony I think,but as with so many of these neglected Russian composers a very distinctive voice.
Very approachable music,anyone familiar with this composer,Roehre maybe ?

Originally posted by Roehre View PostAs soon as you are listening to more of his (orchestral) works, you will discover that his style is statice: it doesn't and hasn't developed. It's quasi-citing DSCH, Mahler as well as the tintinabuli manner of composing (Pärt e.g.), but it will be very difficult to say which work is which - it's all the same. Approachable it certainly is, and there are great moments too, like Tischenko's Cello concerto, or his 5th symphony. But my main impression is: if you heard one of his works, you've heard many of them.
That last bit is a tad harsh IMO,at least you didn't say "you've heard them all"

Luc Brewaeys (1959-2015)
There is so much excellent Music and so many fine Musicians that it's impossible to encounter them all. From Tim Rutherford-Johnson's Blog The Rambler, I learnt today of the recent death of a composer whose name and work I'd not previously encountered. Links to youTube videos were given, including one of this playful, life-affirming piece for Piano and Recorder(s):
Luc Brewaeys: "Les Méandres de la Mémoire"Played by Jan Van Hoecke, recorders and Pieter Dhoore, pianohttp://www.lucbrewaeys.com/http://www.janvanhoecke.com/...
... better late than never, I'll be keenly investigating this composer's work over the next few weeks.
