Norrkoping So/Jurowski - Jurowski:Russian Painters

Vladimir Jurowski's grandfather was an immediate contemporary of Shostakovich, Kabalevsky, and Khachaturian, but in unlike his famous conductor-grandson, today his name is largely forgotten. He worked as an independent composer from 1938 and occupied himself with a wide range of genres, from the opera and the symphony, through chamber music and vocal works, to music for many feature films and cartoons. This cycle of seven symphonic pictures of the Russian Painters reflects the aesthetic world of each of the artists; rendered in rich, contrasting musical colours.
