The distinguished Russian composer, pianist and teacher Rodion Shchedrin writes: "I spent my childhood in the small Russian town of Aleksin, situated on the river Oka, 300 kilometres south of Moscow. My grandfather was an Orthodox priest there.
Rodion Shchedrin employs a colourful mix of antique, modern and folk sounds these nostalgic tone poems. Evoking childhood memories and impressions of nature and bucolic life, his music is accesible without crossover vulgarities. Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra under young conductor Kirill Karabits is captured in vivid sound and the presentation is exemplary.
