Akimenko, Theodore (1876-1945)

Description:

This is a collection of works by Achimenko (1876-1945), born in the northeastern Ukrainian city of Halkiu and known as Stravinsky's first teacher. Although the composer was active during the period of intense repression of Ukrainian culture by the Russian Empire, his works have a colorful and profound Russian sound, as well as a lyrical atmosphere in keeping with the intentions of his teachers, Balakirev and Lyapunov. Akimenko settled in France in 1929. The "Russian Style Melody," written during this period, is a masterpiece filled with a strong sense of nostalgia. Recorded in New York in 2015 by Tatiana Krosnikova (violin)/Anastasia Dedik (piano). (C)RS
