Bruk: Orchestral Music, Vol. 4 - Symphonies Nos. 1
Label: TOCCATA CLASSICS Catalog: TOCC0657 Format: COMPACT DISC Lithuanian National Symphony Orchestra; Resnis, ImantsThis fourth instalment of the recent symphonic output of Fridrich Bruk (born in Ukraine in 1937 but a Finnish resident since 1974) brings two earlier works – from when Bruk was merely in his late seventies. His Symphonies Nos. 15 and 16 – both predicated on Bruk’s concern for the environment – inhabit the soundworld that has become familiar from his more recent symphonies: almost a stream of consciousness expressed through wildly inventive orchestral writing in a kaleidoscope of colour and counterpoint, sitting somewhere between Villa-Lobos and Pettersson in its profligate abundance.
