Yevhen Stankovych Livres

(LKM Music). Violin Cadenza is written by Dima Tkachenko. Duration ca. 24'

(LKM Music). Stankovych's sixth symphony casts a dramatic arc across its unconventional, continuous two-movement structure. Competing themes emerge in the brooding first movement, the tension between them eventually leading to a powerful emotional climax midway into the piece. The second movement, now stealing in on sustained violins, assumes a more melancholy character as the themes introduced previously become intertwined, and ultimately dissolve into a murmuring, hopeful conclusion.
