It's good to have this recording. Now if those who know no Russian would learn to pronounce the composer's name closer the way Russians do: Bah-LAH-kee-rehf, with the stress on the second syllable.
No, it is not anachronism, it is in parallel with Petr Iliich Tchaikovsky, Nikolay Andreevich Rimsky-Korsakov, Alexander Porfirievich Borodin. Like painter Serov in parallel with Vasnetsov with Repin with Levitan and so on. Because the world it is not only two colors (anachronism/non-anachronism or something like else), but the nuances.
Glad to find this; thanks for the upload! IMHO, this is better than his Symphony no. 1, and equal to his tone poem 'Tamara'.

ADGO thank you so much for your great videos!!!
my pleasure. Cheers
Finally, something other than 'Islamey,' to be savored by this composer....BRAVO! and Happy New Year!
I- Allegro ma non troppo (00:28)
II- Scherzo alla Cosacca (10:08)
III- Romanza (17:50)
IV- Finale: tempo di Polacca (26:46)
2-я симфония Балакирева, великолепно исполненная оркестром под управлением Евгения Светланова. Но хотелось бы сделать ремастеринг, почистить звук.

Of course, invites (without quite standing up to) comparison with Borodin, Rimsky, a bit of Tschaikowsky (barring anachronism on my part)
