New Artyomov Symphony recording

Regarded by many as Russia’s greatest living composer, Vyacheslav Artyomov is a natural successor, but with a totally distinctive style, to the work of Scriabin, Messiaen, Mahler and the other great Impressionist-Romantics with large scale works of power and intensity. Currently we are producing a retrospective series of recordings originally issued by Melodiya and other companies in Russia, following the success of our first two Artyomov symphony albums. Following ‘Sola Fide’ and ‘The Way to Olympus’ now out, we have the Symphony of Elegies in September and four more albums to complete the retrospective in October and November. This includes his critically acclaimed Requiem. Now we are overjoyed that to round off this series we will release in early 2019 a new recording made this July of the stunning Symphony ‘In Spe’ and also the ‘Latin Hymns’ – featuring the awesome voice of soprano Nadezhda Pavlova. The Russian National Orchestra is conducted by Valentin Uriupin.
