Bruk: Orchestral Music Vol. 4

Lithuanian National Symphony Orchestra;
Resnis, Imants

TOCC 0657

This fourth instalment of the recent symphonic output of Fridrich Bruk (born in Ukraine in 1937 but a Finnish resident since 1974) brings two earlier works – from when Bruk was merely in his late seventies. His Symphonies Nos. 15 and 16 – both predicated on Bruk’s concern for the environment – inhabit the sound-world that has become familiar from his more recent symphonies: almost a stream of consciousness expressed through wildly inventive orchestral writing in a kaleidoscope of colour and counterpoint, sitting somewhere between Villa-Lobos and Pettersson in its profligate abundance.

Works:

•John Thomas: Souvenir du bal
•John Thomas: Duett über Themen aus "Lucia di Lammermoor"
•Anonymus / John Thomas: March of the Men of Harlech
•Fryderyk Chopin: Klaviersonate Nr. 2
•Franz Schubert: Liedtranskriptionen
•Anonymus: Rakoczi-indulo
