Evgeny Mravinsky, Nikolai Ovsianiko-Kulikovski, Mieczysław Weinberg
Symphony No. 21 in G Major/ Serenade for Orchestra, Op. 47, No. 4
Album US 1954 on Westminster Recording Sales Corp. label
Classical (Classical)
Recorded in 1954 by Melodiya and licensed by Westminster through arrangement with Leeds Music Corp., NY, NY. The Kulikovsky symphony actually turned out to be a fraud, perpetrated by the Soviets to show Russia had a robust music scene during the Classical Period. The Symphony was "discovered" and hailed as a great Classical work, and quickly performed and recorded by the best conductor and orchestra in the Soviet Union. Unfortunately, the principal trumpet, Timofey Dokschitzer, pointed out that the work couldn't possibly have been from the Classical Period, as the trumpet parts were too "melodic" for the valveless trumpets of the time. Still, the piece was recorded and marketed here on the Westminster label. Today, it's an interesting curiosity, at best.
