"The Tchaikovsky who lived in Soviet Russia wrote music that was so far ahead of its time and outside official styles that you have to double-check the dates. The 1954 first quartet sounds like music Shostakovich wrote 20 years later. The second quartet (1961) delivers Glass-like minimalisms while the third (1967) anticipate the mystic Pole, Gorecki. Compelling stuff."

Violin Concerto  (1969) (live recording 1994)

Odense Symphony Orchestra. Conductor Edward Serov
Victor Pikaizen (violin)

 

 “It certainly is unlike any other violin concerto I’ve ever heard. In such rare works we are taken to an inner world that we simply could never have imagined existed, and yet it is presented to us with such particularity and vividness that it seems undeniablyreal. The  performance conveys absolute conviction”
(Mark Lehman, American Record Guide).
