Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra & Kirill Karabits - Karayev: Orchestral Works (2017)

The Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Ukrainian Kirill Karabits, invites us to discover composer Kara Karayev's little-known work through four iconic scores, ranging from ballet to film music. Drawing on the oriental literary heritage, this major figure of Azerbaijan mixes Shostakovich's Russian lyricism with the vivacity of his country's melodic folklore. His dreamy and poetic works merge, in a single movement, the colorful tones of the East and the breath of the great contemporary Western symphonies.
