Lyatoshynsky: Symphonies Nos. 2 & 3 - Ukrainian State Symphony, Kuchar

The new generation of twentieth-century Ukrainian composers was led by Boris Lyatoshynsky, whose symphonic cycle is the most important in his country’s musical history. His Second Symphony of 1935–36 reflects the turbulence of the times. The Third Symphony is his most performed and admired, a powerful, intense creation that was enthusiastically received at its première. This is the second of three discs comprising the complete Lyatoshynsky symphonies.
