Marc Bouchkov; Anna Ulaieva; Kyiv Virtuosi; John Warner; Dmitry Yablonsky - Alexey Shor: Composer's Notebook, Vol. 1 - Travel Notebook; Suite for Piano and Orchestra No. 1; Violin Concerto No. 4

Travel Notebook, Suite for Piano and Orchestra No. 1 by Ukrainian composer Alexey Shor is cast in a neo-Classical vein. It offers personal impressions of places he has visited, with music that is harmonically traditional and melodic. Violin Concerto No. 4, composed during the Covid pandemic, is a restless, passionate and romantic work, displaying Shor's trademark lyricism. Both works are heard in the composer's versions with string orchestra.
