Info for Nagovitsyn / Slonimsky / Uspensky

An exciting new series for Violin Collectors and followers of the Russian violin school, some not heard much in the West

"Most substantial here is the Violin Concerto by Vyacheslav Nagovitsyn. The influence of his teacher Shostakovich may be evident in the opening Sinfonia…but the hypnotic Ostinato and sardonic Finale hint at more individual expression…If Phantasmagoria by Vladislav Uspensky impresses more by its technical brilliance than musical substance, its cohesive progress from uneasy stasis to ethereal evanescence feels undeniable." (Gramophone Magazine)

"With this provocative collection Northern Flowers - carefully but anonymously documented - continue the process of shaking up the classical 'scene'. I keep my fingers crossed that they will at some point favour Yuri Shaporin's Symphony for chorus and orchestra, completed in 1932 and premiered in London by Albert Coates and the BBC Symphony Orchestra. Then there are Ivan Dzerzhinsky's two piano concertos of the 1920s and 1930s which may have some promise. On the other hand, we can perhaps hope for some Slonimsky symphonies which might be closer to the front of the queue." (Rob Barnett, MusicWeb International)
