I would never have imagined that a mono-melodic edifice, with it's mono-thematic accompaniment, could take us as far as this - totally convincing symphony - most certainly has.
This recording, especially when the choir comes in at about the 18 minute mark sounds like it is the USSR Symphony and Chorus.... Even on the composer's website it is unattributed.
Ovchinnikov is a genius! Huge professionalism, real russian influences from classical composers like Rachmaninov and Shostakovich, brilliant orchestrator and sound designer! His film music is a historical! The music is not political separated, and do not own to USA ! Sorry
It is sad that there are so many Russian composers who wrote music under the patronage of the USSR government that are still just about hidden from the world at large.

Vyacheslav Ovchinnikov compuso la música de la película "Andrei Rubliev" de A. Tarkovski
How could I not know of him !? Thanks to you now I know of him and....just WONDERFUL.

a Rich Colossal Tapestry of Sound.....BRAVISSIMI TUTTI from San Agustinillo, Oaxaca!
По-видимому, эта симфония использована Бондарчуком в "Борисе Годунове"
Adding another work which I am unfamiliar with to my listening collection on RUclips. This is pretty good!
a work of art
Very interesting. Appealing. Reminds me of British composer Alun Hoddinott.

An adventure into unfamiliar and resplendent territory. But there is trouble in the land.
+Michael Berridge . Your comments are very true. Yes, there is trouble in the land.

awesome, thanks
Hi! Does anybody know where I can buy a recording of this symphony?
Starts off a little like Rachmaninoff's "Isle of the Dead" doesn't it?
digitalmaestrorich Jep that's true.
Certainly - and the weaving wave motif also reminds me of Furtwängler‘s Second, which is also built entirely on his initial melodic germ-cell
does this get performed often in Russia?
Текст в середине кажется лишним...
Вовсе нет. Добавляет трагики. Инфернальности.
Does it really make sense to upload music, where you have no idea who is playing, who is singing or who is conducting ?
Yes, it does. The music is primary, the performer secondary.

Johann Brandstatter - Here we go again, the same old story from Mr Brandstatter. Why don't you get a life.
Yes. Yes it does.
