Details: "All three works on this recording were written in 1946, one of the darkest years for Russian culture. There was a real pogrom in Soviet literature that year, which only served as a dress rehearsal for the pogrom of Soviet music two years later , when Shostakovich, Prokofiev, Miaskovsky, Khachaturian and many other Soviet composers of the highest rank were officially and publicly reprimanded for writing 'formalist' music." ―Yuli Turovsky "The works on this recording were all composed in 1946, one of the darkest years of Russian culture. There was a veritable pogrom in Soviet literature that year, which was to serve as a model for the pogrom that would strike the Soviet music two years later, when Shostakovich, Prokofiev, Miaskovsky, Khachaturian and several other of the most famous composers were to be officially and publicly reprimanded for writing 'formalist' music." ―Yuli Turovsky Selections: Galynin: Piano Concerto No. 1 Shostakovich: Chamber Symphony in F major, op. 73a, for strings, winds and harp (transcription by Rudolf Barshai of Quartet No. 3, Op. 73) Ustvolskaya: Piano Concerto
