Thank you for this. Interesting piece

I can find so little about this composer. Assuming he's Russian, he successfully works within the traditional values of the symphony orchestra. His writing is controlled and mostly atmospheric, creating juxtaposition subjects. An interesting symphony that needs to be heard more than once to appreciate.

I searched his name using Cyrillic letters and found this which hopefully will work. Copy the article and plug it into Google translate. It's short but you'll get a bit more info than seems to generally be available in English ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%A2%D0%BE%D0%BB%D1%81%D1%82%D0%B5%D0%BD%D0%BA%D0%BE,_%D0%93%D0%B5%D0%BD%D0%BD%D0%B0%D0%B4%D0%B8%D0%B9_%D0%AE%D1%80%D1%8C%D0%B5%D0%B2%D0%B8%D1%87
