The Symphony # 5 is a bold, colorful, rhapsodic statement much in the style of Khachaturian with some Prokofiev and Myaskovksy thrown in. Vladimir Jurowski (1915-1971) is the father of conductor Michail Jurowski and grandfather of conductor Vladimir Jurowski. Russian Painters is a multi movement tone poem, akin to "Pictures at an Exhibition".
Here is hoping for a continuation of this cycle.
Interesting; one to investigate Don.

Finished my first listen to this cycle with the wonderful String Quartets 14 & 15....
All of these are live performances and are very well performed, recorded and balanced. These are quite lyrical performances compared with the mesmerising performances of the Fitzwilliam Quartet but they are equally valid. There is wonderful contrast between the two cycles.

With the untimely death of István Kertész the world lost a very interesting and potentially really great conductor. I think that he would have gone on to do some really great things. Unfortunately not to be.
