RUSSIAN, SOVIET &
POST-SOVIET CONCERTOS
A Discography Of CDs And LPs
Prepared by Michael Herman Edited by Stephen Ellis
Despite
a late start in the field of classical music, Russian composers
would take their place in the forefront of this art. The
concerto barely existed in early nineteenth-century Russia
except as an import from Western Europe, but by the end
of that century and throughout the twentieth century, some
of its greatest and most popular examples were being composed
by Russian and other Soviet composers. The concertos composed
by Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninov, Glazunov, Prokofiev, Khachaturian
and Shostakovich continue to be among the most-performed
representatives of this genre. It is the object of this
work to document all the recordings of concertos by the
most famous as well as most obscure Russian, Soviet and
post-Soviet composers. The composers included in this discography
are those who wrote concertos and other works for soloist(s)
and orchestra that have been issued on CDs and LPs who were
born in Russia or in 11 other nations that once were part
of the Soviet Union: Ukraine, Belarus, Moldova, Armenia,
Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan,
Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. Not included are composers
from the Baltic nations of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania.
Recorded is here defined as being available in a
physical format that can be (or could have been) purchased
or obtained from either a commercial or non-commercial source.
Tape recordings, DVD's, music available exclusively as downloads
from the internet and formats other than CD's or LP's are
not included.
The
entry for each composer consists of two sections. First
there is a compact biographical paragraph that notes some
essential information such as place of birth, higher musical
education (including schools and prominent teachers), subsequent
musical careers in addition to composing, and details of
other concertos that have not been recorded. Compositional
styles are not discussed in these paragraphs, and readers
are referred to the bibliography where various reference
books that cover this subject are listed. The second part
of each composer entry consists of lists of his or her concertos
that have been recorded and the various recordings of each
work. A concerto is very broadly defined defined for the
purposes of this discography to include any work that has
the word "concerto," "concertino" or
"concertante" in its title whether or not a soloist
is involved. Also included is any work in which an instrumental
soloist is continually involved whatever its title may be.
For every concerto that has them, the opus number, key signature
and title are noted and the year of composition (when known)
is stated for all. The entries of the concertos that have
had multiple recordings are listed alphabetically by soloist’s
name. Each listing of a recording consists of the following
components (again, if known): (1) Performers – soloist(s),
conductor, orchestra), (2) Other works on the recording.
(3) Label and catalogue number and year of issue and (4)
If the recording is a reissue, the original LP or CD release,
and its year of issue. Please note that the performers listed
are for the entry work and not necessarily for the work
or works that complete the disc. Also, in most instances
when an entry work is included in a large collection (especially
if most of the other works are not related to the discography's
subject), the list of couplings is not given but is replaced
by the title of the collection.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS As
noted above, Stephen Ellis has edited this work.
However, he was much more than an editor who corrected my
errors both inadvertent and egregious, but he also enlightened
me with his vast knowledge of composers of the modern era
and recordings of their works. His contribution was indispensable
and greatly appreciated. I am also very grateful to Holger
Sambale from Germany who saw my original manuscript and
pointed out many recordings and composers that I was totally
unaware of and also a number of factual errors. I have since
incorporated these additions and corrections into this work.
Thanks also once again to Len Mullenger for hosting my work
on his superb MusicWeb International website and also to
David Barker for straightening out the technical problems
that I submitted along with the document.
PLEASE
NOTE (1)
Spelling: As the names of practically all composers in this
discography are originally written in different alphabets
(Cyrillic, Armenian, Georgian, etc.), they often appear
transliterated differently in various sources. I have used
the most commonly recognized versions, such as Tchaikovsky,
Rachmaninov, etc. In some cases, where known, I will also
indicate a transliteration preferred in the newly independent
former Soviet Republics such as Ukraine, Belarus and Azerbaijan.
(2)
For the sake of clarity and convenience, all LPs from the
Soviet Union's record manufacturing monopoly are indicated
by the label name "Melodiya" although this designation
did not come into use until c. 1964.
(3) All recordings listed are CDs unless specifically designated
as LPs.
(4) Finally, as this discography is published online, it can always be
a work in progress, as the author has the ability to amend the document
when necessary with very little difficulty. A work of this type is bound
to contain errors and omissions as so much material has been gathered
from so many diverse sources.

Many contemporary
composers have their own websites and others can be found
on the websites of their publishers. There are also websites
for earlier composers and conductors that are maintained by
societies that promote their music and recordings. These can
be found by typing the composer's name into any search engine.
