Svetlanov the composer

[Petrushka]

I actually saw Svetlanov perform one of his own pieces with the LSO in April 1979 but can't remember what the devil it was! I also went to the morning rehearsal in the RFH and the LSO were rather naughtily having some fun with the chugging rhythms of the work. I will have the programme somewhere.

Just seen this - I'll definitely give Svetlanov's works a try. (I'm eternally grateful to him for his recording of Rachmaninov's 1st symphony - knocks spots off every other recording of the work which I've heard so far.)

[Lat-Literal]

I've just ordered his 1st Symphony (on a whim,for a couple of quid from amazon).
Apparently his music is highly regarded in Russia.
Does anyone on here know this piece or any of ES's works?
Roehre maybe?

I can't understand why this one failed to get on the list I have been compiling.

It must be added immediately.

Yes,apologies Lat,I had forgotten about him.
His Symphony is a good listen (DSCHy and Rachmaninovy) and it's available in the Naxos Library.
