Product Description

From Amazon.com

Aram Khachaturian ranks just behind Shostakovich and Prokofieff in the pantheon of 20th- century Russian music. Khachaturian's music, though, is far more "ethnic" than the music of the other two. His music never left the region of what was then the southern parts of the U.S.S.R. His Symphony 2 is perhaps darker--in both mood and orchestral color--than his other symphonies; but then it was written in 1943 in the midst of World War II and Stalin's ongoing purges of the Soviet bureaucracy. However, works such as Gayneh almost guaranteed that Khachaturian would stay out of jail. -- Paul Cook

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Khachaturian and Jarvi combo, Dec 18 2002
By Daniel L. Ayala (Columbia, SC United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
If you need an introduction into the music of Khachaturian, please pick this cd up. Khachaturian may be Armenian and Jarvi may be Estonian, but the all around soviet furor is alive and well in this piece.

I had an earlier recording of this symphony with Khachaturian conducting the VPO, and its a revelation. But i wanted a digital version and was pleased to pick this one up.

The trumpets blare, the horns blare, the strings are sensual, and the GONG is terrifying. You will want to play this cd loudly to achieve its thunderous effects. You will not be disapointed either.

I would pay close attention to the last two mins. of this piece as it speaks to you in gentle somber and pain and becomes increasingly violent and angry - bells tolling, trumpets screaming, and gong crashing to a most haunting climax.

its a real treat!

5.0 out of 5 stars No one can do Uplifting and Dramatic like Khachaturian, Jan 3 2001
By R. Kelly Wagner "bunrab@bunrab.net" (MD, United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
For years, it was difficult to find a recording of this piece. It's still not nearly as well known as it should be. This is a magnificent work, and it does LOUD in a magnificent way that only Khachaturian can. I think this work should be among the "top 100 pieces of music of the 20th century" and it's a shame it hasn't been well enough known to be on that list in most people's minds.

Trumpets. Lots of trumpets. Horns. Lots of horns. Did I mention lots of trumpets? This piece requires considerable augmentation of the standard symphony orchestra. (I have the score. I love reading brass parts while they are playing.)

Please listen to this, and then call your classical station and request them to play it, too, so that it will become as well known as it deserves.
