Description:

Gavriil Popov is a 20th century Soviet composer. During his time at the Conservatory, he and Shostakovich attracted attention as promising talents. While he was recognized for his many works, his career was cut short by the Soviet art policy of the time, and he lived in an unfavorable period of his life. In recent years, his music has been reevaluated and his name is becoming known throughout the world. His Symphony No. 1, premiered in Japan in August 2016, is finally available on CD. Please enjoy this energetic piece, performed with the passion and power of a live performance. Recorded live at Suntory Hall, Tokyo on August 4, 2016
