Talk:Vladimir Shcherbachov

Single performance section
I've removed the following:


 * Shcherbachov's 2nd Symphony received what is likely its U.S. premiere on Friday, January 25, 2008, in a performance by the American Symphony Orchestra directed by Leon Botstein, as part of a program dedicated to "Russian Futurists," which included music by Shcherbachov's student, Gavriil Popov, as well. The concert, held at Avery Fisher Hall in Lincoln Center, featured soloists Marina Poplavskaya, soprano, and Michael Wade Lee, tenor, with the Concert Chorale of New York (prepared by their director, James Bagwell).  According to ASO staff members, Maestro Botstein obtained a photocopy of the original manuscript score, which is unpublished, from a Russian archive, and arranged to have orchestra parts extracted specially for this performance.  The piece ran about an hour.  The lyrics are from poetry by Alexander Blok, and the piece was identified on the program with the name "Blokovskaya."  The style of the music was quite romantic, by contrast to the more dissonant and futurist works on the program, and indeed seemed anachronistic for a work that was written in the mid-1920s in Soviet Russia, but the resuscitation was successful with the audience and the piece deserves to be heard again and recorded.

from the article as I think was too long; it refers to a single performance of a Shcherbachov work and it is as long as the rest of the article. --Atavi (talk) 10:18, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
