Yevgeny Aleksandrovich Mravinsky (Russian: Евге́ний Алекса́ндрович Мрави́нский) (4 June [O.S. 22 May] 1903 / 19 January 1988) was a Soviet-Russian conductor. Mravinsky was born in Saint Petersburg. The soprano Yevgeniya Mravina was his aunt. His father died in 1918, and in that same year, he began to work backstage at the Mariinsky Theatre. He first studied biology at the university in Leningrad, before going to the Leningrad Conservatory to study music. He served as a ballet repetiteur from 1923 to 1931. His first public conducting appearance was in 1929. Through the 1930s he conducted at the Kirov Ballet and Bolshoi Opera. In September 1938, he won the All-Union Conductors Competition in Moscow. In October 1938, Mravinsky took up the post that he was to hold until 1988: principal conductor of the Leningrad Philharmonic Orchestra, with whom he had made his debut as a conductor in 1931. Under Mravinsky, the Leningrad Philharmonic gained a legendary reputation, particularly in Russian music such as Tchaikovsky and Shostakovich. During World War II, Mravinsky and the orchestra were evacuated to Siberia. But members of the Leningrad Philharmonic's reserve orchestra and the Leningrad Radio Orchestra were left behind in the siege of Leningrad, so it fell to Karl Eliasberg to conduct the surviving musicians in the Leningrad premiere of the Symphony No.7 "Leningrad" by Shostakovich. Mravinsky first went on tour abroad in 1946, including performances in Finland and in Czechoslovakia (at the Prague Spring Festival). Later tours with orchestra included a June 1956 itinerary to West Germany, East Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Their only tour to Great Britain was in September 1960 to the Edinburgh Festival and the Royal Festival Hall, London. Their first tour to Japan was in May 1973. Their last foreign tour was in 1984, to West Germany. His last concert was on 6 March 1987 (Schubert, Symphony No. 8, and Brahms, Symphony No. 4). Mravinsky died in Leningrad in 1988, aged 84. Recordings reveal Mravinsky to have an extraordinary technical control over the orchestra, especially over dynamics. He was also a very exciting conductor, frequently changing tempo in order to heighten the musical effect for which he was striving, often making prominent use of brass instrumentation. Surviving videos show that Mravinsky had a sober appearance at the podium, making simple but very clear gestures, often without a baton. The critic David Fanning has memorably described some of Mravinsky's Tchaikovsky performances: 'The Leningrad Philharmonic play like a wild stallion, only just held in check by the willpower of its master. Every smallest movement is placed with fierce pride; at any moment it may break into such a frenzied gallop that you hardly know whether to feel exhilarated or terrified'....

Yuri Favorin - Piano Invention 00:00 Choir 03:40 Lied 08:58 Fuga 12:49 Gavriil Popov +••.••(...)) - was a Soviet Russian Composer. Popov studied at the Leningrad Conservatory from 1922 until 1930 with Leonid Vladimirovich Nikolayev, Vladimir Shcherbachov, and Maximilian Steinberg. He was considered to have the raw talent of his contemporary Dmitri Shostakovich; his early works, in particular the Septet (or Chamber Symphony) for flute, trumpet, clarinet, bassoon, violin, cello and bass, and his Symphony No. 1 (Op. 7, banned immediately after its premiere in 1935 and not publicly heard again in his lifetime), are impressively powerful and forward-looking. Not surprisingly, he ran afoul of the authorities in 1936 and began writing in a more conservative idiom in order to avoid charges of formalism. Despite his alcoholism, Popov produced many works for orchestra, including six completed symphonies and several film scores.

It premiered in Moscow on January 31, 1947 and then was presented in Leningrad on March 9 of the same year. It is composed for an extended string orchestra. A challenge for the presentation of a heroic work. Called by an orchestra conductor as the "Spanish" for the use of Hispanic themes and for the origin of the work: In the month of May of 1939, Popov had written the soundtrack of a film entitled "Spain". It was a report made during the Spanish Civil War, describing the tragedy of the nation. The music was so successful that Popov made a suite entitled "Spain" Op.28, consisting of seven symphonic fragments. According to the diary written by the composer, on September 17, 1939, he intends to perform a Concerto grosso based on the fragments for strings of his work "Spain". The first movement ends in the month of October, but then leaves the work. In the month of September 1944 he continued, finishing the score on September 21, 1946. Then he changed the name to Symphony No. 3 "Heroic" and dedicating it to his friend Shostakovich. The first movement begins with a solemn theme reflecting the heroism that will be the basis of the symphony. It is combined with a more nervous secondary theme. Dragged by the violins the theme grows to its fullest expression, then return to the calm with which the coda ends. The second movement presents a lively theme in which we can see the popular twists of the Castilian jota, one of the reasons for being known as the Spanish symphony. In the central part we find a requiem for the fallen heroes based on the Basque folk song, Argizagi ederra (the beautiful moon). The theme is presented by the violas in their low register. Then the complete strings are added. It continues with a brief development in a dramatic way to return to the initial theme. The third movement corresponds to the scherzo of the work. It is written in the form of a rondo and is based on the themes of three dances. Among them are a contrapás, a typical Catalan dance and a Castilian tune, which alternate. The fourth movement begins with a dense sad melody in the cellos and double basses. When the violas and violins join, it acquires amplitude, increasing its drama. It is the longest movement, constituting the dramatic core of the work. It develops through increasingly intense sound waves until it reaches its peak. The last movement presents us with the triumphal end of the work. The two themes of the first movement reappear. The second theme appears first, followed by a motif in the form of a march announcing the victory. The main theme of the work, that of heroism, is emphasized. The initial theme is taken by the entire orchestra in the coda as a symbol of courage. The premiere of the work was a success but for reasons unknown, their discussion at the meeting for the Stalin Awards was postponed to 1947. The events that took place in 1948 for the performance of Vano Muradelli's opera, condemned the most important Soviet composers. Popov was criticized as an anti-nationalist formalist in need of a reconversion of his style. Picture: "The Third of May 1808" (1814) by the Spanish painter Francisco de Goya.
