Thanks for sharing it! I just bought a CD of Schnittke's 4th Symphony and his Requiem. I think I've just discovered a new sonic world.

[@derrickcrane4290]

I have the same CD -- good choice!

[@stevenealick6012]

It's the Epliogue from Peer Gynt. It's used again later in the documentary and Schnittke speaks very eloquently about its meaning.

What is the piece which plays at 1:34???

[@jacksumrall7782]

Hello, may I ask how you gained access to this documentary? I cannot find it's original source anywhere!

[@losdosabuelos]

We recorded the BBC broadcast in 1990 on a VHS tape and digitalised it in 3 parts in 2013, but have now seen references to it having been directed by Donald Sturrock in 1983 - though he would have only been 22 at that time.

what is the mens vocal piece at 10:00 titled? PLEASE help!

[@losdosabuelos]

+George Koenig It is " A prayer of a young man"

It is the last movement from Schnittke's Peer Gynt.
