Album Description

Vyacheslav Artyomov was born in Moscow in 1940. He majored in physics at the University of Moscow before transferring to the renowned Moscow Conservatory where he studied composition with Nikolai Sidelnikov. Artyomov has claimed a deep interest in Russian folklore and a kinship with his 19th century musical forebears, who aimed to incorporate Russian cultural traditions into their art. For him, music is more than mere entertainment. It is a spiritual quest, and he has stated that he believes in music's power to "transfigure the created world" - an almost Scriabinesque philosophy. The Requiem (1986) was first performed at the Moscow Conservatory in 1988, and can be considered Artyomov's breakthrough work. The press were ecstatic in their praise and the piece was later aired by Moscow State Radio, the first time a Requiem Mass had been broadcast in the Soviet Union. In 1976, Dmitri Kitaenko was named chief conductor of the Moscow Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra, a position he held until 1990, when he left Russia for the West.

The postmodern music of the Russian composer Artyomov (b. 1940) takes much from Scriabin without sounding at all like him. Artyomov's music, like Scriabin's, is mostly textures and slowly-shifting orchestral colors, but without the earlier composer's Romanticism. This is very intense music, which is quite common with what's coming out of the former Soviet Union. In Memoriam (1984) is a symphony that flows around a violin following an A Minor theme that always stays tonal in character. Artyomov is of that generation of composers moving away from Shostakovich's shadow and finding their own voices. This is gripping, intelligent and, ultimately, very rewarding music. --Paul Cook
