Amazingly mature for an 18 year old. So sad that the Soviet political machine stifled much of his music. 2nd and 3rd symphonies were hack pieces. But, the 4th, which they suppressed is a masterpiece. Give it a listen.

I'm an 18 year old composer. I hope I can get something even remotely this good by the end of the year : )

@JosephGlaser Good luck is all I can say.

@JosephGlaser Same here :)

@JosephGlaser don't put any pressure on yourself. Be happy with what you write and that it inspires you, and make sure its the best you can produce. Whether that happens tomorrow or in 20 years, doesn't matter.

I'm a 13-year old composer, and I do to! I'm working on my first symphony now.

@JosephGlaser Aim beyond it, and You will get it.

@JosephGlaser one year has gone now, how did it go?

[JosephGlaser]

@ThobyThomas Didn't write a symphony, but a pretty good piano trio. It was played on National Radio here in Canada. If you'll permit me to self promote, you can listen to a recording, and several others on my website, jglasermusic . com

Cheers and thanks everyone for your support!

i cannot believe that the composer was only eighteen when he wrote this! it is quite advanced and extremely well written, orchestrated, and harmonized!

the dovetailing between the clarinets at 1:50 is soooooo awesome.

I did this with the World Youth Symphony Orchestra this summer... and honestly, its one of the most fantastic pieces of music i've ever been a part of. Fantastic and very mature work for an 18 year old boy.

[kletterkajo]

the musicians seem to be very sleepy, especialy the flautist and oboist. the beginning is a catastrophe :-D gergiew tries and tries to get the machine running... but all is a matter of taste :-) wdr sinfony orchestra under rudolph barshai!!

The first symphony is many times unsucesfull,but this is great!

In some times sounds a bit like Tchaikovsky,but of the XX century,more modern than him.
