Vladimir Fedoseev - Russian Orchestral Works, Vol. 1 & 2 (1981) [2022 SACD]

A project commemorating the 90th anniversary of Fedoseyev's birth.
"JVC Digital Moscow Series" revived with K2HD mastering.
Energetic brass roar. And beautiful, clear harmonies. A collection of two complete collections of short pieces in a 2-disc set.
Here is Fedoseyev's groundbreaking recording that touches on the core and gets to the essence!!

Many small pieces were also recorded during this first digital recording. All the songs that Fedoseyev and the Moscow Radio Symphony Orchestra performed in the encore were wonderful, and this excitement can be said to be synonymous with them. Although the songs chosen for recording in 1981 were based on Victor's wishes, each one is a gem with a dazzling shine. In particular, Ippolitov-Ivanov's suite ``Landscapes of the Caucasus'' is actually rarely performed by Russian orchestras, so this recording can be said to be the definitive recording. It is very interesting as it describes the points of contact with the The Russian atmosphere can be felt throughout the performance of the other small pieces, and the orchestra's simple and compassionate tone is especially exquisite. Of course, even if it's a small piece, it's never easy to play, so the performance is more fulfilling than the length of the song itself. In addition, each piece is elegantly finished, and depending on the song, it gives off a classic appearance. These are first-class performances, and will remind listeners that they are all songs of high value.
