Kabalevsky: Works for Orchestra
Two symphonies and two overtures by Dimitri Kabalevsky reveal the range of the Russian composer's talents. The opera Colas Breugnon was an early success with a spectacular overture, and the later Pathétique Overture is another impressive showpiece. His First Symphony journeys from oppression to liberation, in celebration of 15 years since the 1917 Revolution, while the Second – championed by Toscanini – is a more lyrical work. Darrell Ang conducts the Malmö Symphony Orchestra.
