Ural Youth So/Rudin - Nikolay Myaskovsky: Symphonies Nos. Nos. 1 and 13

With 27 symphonies to his name, Nikolay Myaskovsky is known as the �father of the Soviet symphony�, his legacy placing him in the same line as other great Russian symphonists such as Prokofiev and Shostakovich. Myaskovsky�s richly Romantic Symphony No. 1 won him the Glazunov scholarship, and as a graduation work reveals the influence of Tchaikovsky and Scriabin in its expressive, dramatic impact. The more experimental but also deeply inward-looking and disconsolate Symphony No. 13 is regarded as one of Myaskovsky�s most individual statements.
