Seattle Symphony: [untitled] 2

Alexandre Rabinovitch-Barakovsky — Récit de Voyage
Galina Ustvolskaya — The Lady with the Hammer
Pavel Karmanov — The City I Love and Hate

Alexei Lubimov, piano

Alexandre Rabinovitch-Barakovsky – Récit de Voyage
Galina Ustvolskaya – Octet for 4 violins, 2 oboes, timpani, and piano
Pavel Karmanov – The City I Love and Hate

These three composers of the Soviet era chart opposing paths during and after the Cold War. A classic score by Rabinovitch-Barakovsky embraces mystical minimalism, while the octet of Galina Ustvolskaya, The Lady with the Hammer, is alternately fascinating and alarming.
