Yuri Shishakov - Concerto for 2 Xylophones (1967)

[@josephsowa]

Somehow this is exactly the kind of Soviet kitsch I was expecting... simultaneously fun and very strange

[@zeldathomas3498]

What a fascinating layout for the xylophone, never seen anything like it

[@cywiringwlad]

I love the seemingly random variety of instruments (percussion) in this piece! 🤪😜

[@theingabo212]

That's really Amazing…!!!

[@andersonezraviolin]

This is AWESOME!! Love the percussion break towards the end of the piece, just another delightfully strange addition to the concerto.

Completely barking! I love it! Thanks for posting.

[@JohnMCowan]

This is fantastic. I can’t stop listening!!!

[@ebonie200]

Thank you for finding this and posting it. This is a fantastic piece, full of whimsy and creativity. I love the instrumentation. I looked on iTunes but no luck finding a recording. Thanks again.

Never thought I would come across a concerto for, not one, but TWO xylophones! The xylophones in the TV performance looks quite odd though, looks like the Diamond Marimba, an instrument made by Harry Partch. I think this piece will sound great if played with a full orchestra.

Look up four row xylophones, you’ll see how the pitches are laid out. Also called “holz und stroh instrument”.

Allegro scherzoso divertente! Reminds to the athmosphere of popular piano duet Ferrante and Teicher, and others of folk-swing-exotica music, like the Three Suns

It sounds like DLC from Kabelevsky’s The Comedians.

[@dima.jiharev]

DLC lol

[@LawrenceDunn101]

fabulous!

[@johngough2958]

Great find, thanks!

[@mmbmbmbmb]

I find this quite entertaining, almost amusing ... not sure if it was intended that way. Definitely interesting to listen to. Thank you!

8:05 What is that type of xylophone called?

[@jrdscrgn]

Four row xylophone, or holz und stroh instrument.

[@notaire2]

Wunderschöne und spannende Interpretation dieses einzigartig konstruierten doch fein komponierten Konzerts mit rhythmischen Klänge beider genialen Soloinstrumente sowie zurückgehaltenen doch perfekt entsprechenden Tönen der anderen Instrumente. Wahrlich wertvolle Aufnahme!

[@aramkhachaturian8043]

This is kinda jazzy!

[@kawingng1600]

Want to hv the score... Can't find it anywhere

[@tatsuhelma]

6:57 that's crazy...
