How could I not know of him !? Thanks to you now I know of him and....just WONDERFUL.

Vyacheslav Ovchinnikov compuso la música de la película "Andrei Rubliev" de A. Tarkovski

I would never have imagined that a mono-melodic edifice, with it's mono-thematic accompaniment, could take us as far as this - totally convincing symphony - most certainly has.

a Rich Colossal Tapestry of Sound.....BRAVISSIMI TUTTI from San Agustinillo, Oaxaca!

[@godzooke]

Very interesting. Appealing. Reminds me of British composer Alun Hoddinott.

[@FabioTharwat]

a work of art

[@bowerdw]

Adding another work which I am unfamiliar with to my listening collection on KZbin. This is pretty good!

[@michaelberridge1934]

An adventure into unfamiliar and resplendent territory. But there is trouble in the land.

[@marionkiker1125]

+Michael Berridge . Your comments are very true. Yes, there is trouble in the land.

[@IvarsBezdechi]

This recording, especially when the choir comes in at about the 18 minute mark sounds like it is the USSR Symphony and Chorus.... Even on the composer's website it is unattributed.

[@quite1enough]

awesome, thanks

Musique d' atmosphère fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viatcheslav_Ovtchinnikov Où conduit donc ce labyrinthe ?

[@plonplon243]

Hi! Does anybody know where I can buy a recording of this symphony?

[@Lexsey]

По-видимому, эта симфония использована Бондарчуком в "Борисе Годунове"

[@MrRbjunior83]

Ovchinnikov is a genius! Huge professionalism, real russian influences from classical composers like Rachmaninov and Shostakovich, brilliant orchestrator and sound designer! His film music is a historical! The music is not political separated, and do not own to USA ! Sorry

[@mp-ck8gm]

does this get performed often in Russia?

[@digitalmaestrorich]

Starts off a little like Rachmaninoff's "Isle of the Dead" doesn't it?

[@BertoldBR74Roux]

digitalmaestrorich Jep that's true.

[@michelleclerc3857]

Certainly - and the weaving wave motif also reminds me of Furtwängler‘s Second, which is also built entirely on his initial melodic germ-cell

[@IvarsBezdechi]

It is sad that there are so many Russian composers who wrote music under the patronage of the USSR government that are still just about hidden from the world at large.

[@КонстантинБелоногов-к5б]

Текст в середине кажется лишним...

[@francoisvillon1300]

Вовсе нет. Добавляет трагики. Инфернальности.

[@johannbrandstatter7419]

Does it really make sense to upload music, where you have no idea who is playing, who is singing or who is conducting ?

[@patrickmaloney4847]

Yes, it does. The music is primary, the performer secondary.

[@steveegallo3384]

Johann Brandstatter -- You have a good idea on how to Improve the situation. WHY DON'T YOU DO SOMETHING? Start out fresh...and Do It YOUR Way! You'll feel much better about yourself!

[@warmswarm]

Johann Brandstatter - Here we go again, the same old story from Mr Brandstatter. Why don't you get a life.

[@regpharvey]

Yes. Yes it does.

[@davidwyatt850]

@@regpharvey And, for the 'record', almost certainly the recording Ovchinnikov himself made with the USSR 'Large' State SO
