Divine Art

  • Star Wind – outstanding chamber music by Vyacheslav Artyomov

    Sep 19th, 2019 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: CD Review, Chamber music, Classical music, contemporary classical music, Divine Art, Vyacheslav Artyomov

    This reissue from Divine Arts brings together several short chamber works by Vyacheslav Artyomov. Each work has its own unique combination of instruments, and (in a way) its own aesthetic. The opening track, Star Wind, is a 1981 sextet featuring violin, cello, flute, French horn, piano, and glockenspiel. To me, it sounds like a very early […]

  • Vyacheslav Artyomov Symphony of Elegies Inspires Anew

    Divine Art continues their reissue of Vyacheslav Artyomov recordings with “A Symphony of Elegies.” Artyomov’s 1977 “A Symphony of Elegies” was written during a trip to the mountains of Dilijan, Armenia. To me, the work forms a fascinating contrast to the mountain-inspired symphonies of American/Armenian composer Alan Hovhaness. Both composers eschew the standard notion of […]

  • Vyacheslav Artyomov – Master of Percussion

    Jul 30th, 2019 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Academic Symphony Orchestra of the Moscow State Philharmonic, Anatoli Liubimovm, CD Review, Chamber music, Classical music, contemporary classical music, Divine Art, Lev Mikhailov, Mark Pekarsky Percussion Ensemble, Valeriy Popov, Virko Baley, Vladimir Pakulichev, Vyacheslav Artyomov

    Vyacheslav Artyomov has developed his own musical language. It isn’t so much about scales and chords as it is timbres and sound clouds. In other words, the perfect aesthetic for percussion ensembles. This release features two works commissioned by the Mark Pekarsky Percussion Ensemble, performed by that ensemble. The earliest work, Totem is a marvelous […]

  • Vyacheslav Artyomov – The Way to Olympus

    Jul 2nd, 2019 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Anton Batagov, CD Review, Classical music, contemporary classical music, Divine Art, Dmitri Kitaenko, Gennady Rozhdestvensky, Moscow Philharmonic Orchestra, Orchestral music, Piotr Meschaninov, Tatiana Grindenko, Timur Mynbaev, USSR State Academic Symphony Orchestra, Vyacheslav Artyomov, Yelena Adjemova, Yevgeny Smirnov

    Volume four of Divine Art’s Vyacheslav Artyomov series features a wide range of works — everything from a full orchestra (“The Way to Olympus”), to a solo piano (“Preludes to Sonnets”). While the forces may vary, there’s a consistency throughout all these works. Artyomov’s deeply spiritual philosophy imbues every composition. The music alternates between suspended […]

  • Vyacheslav Artyomov paints with clouds of sound in Sola fide

    Jun 12th, 2019 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Academic Symphony Orchestra of the Moscow State Philharmonic, Aleksey Martinov, Divine Art, Dmitri Kitaenko, Elmira Kugusheva, Inna Polianskaya, Kunas State Choir, Mikhail Lanskoi, Vyacheslav Artyomov

    There’s only one way to fully appreciate the genius of Vyacheslav Artyomov. You have to listen to everything he’s written. Case in point: this third Divine Art release features Solo Fide: scenes from the ballet after Tolstoy’s “Road to Calvary.” But Solo Fide isn’t just a suite of ballet numbers. It’s parts three and four of a massive five-part […]

  • Artyomov’s Gentle Emanation is Powerful Music

    Apr 19th, 2017 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: CD Review, Classical music, contemporary classical music, Divine Art, Mikhail Philippov, Orchestral music, Philip Kopachevsky, Russian National Orchestra, Treodor Currentzis, Vladimir Ponkin, Vyacheslav Artyomov

    How to describe the music of Vyacheslav Artyomov? Imagine combining the structures of Arvo Pärt, the ethereal sound clouds of Kaija Saariaho, the intensity of György Ligeti, and the deep spirituality of John Tavener. Artyomov has a unique compositional voice that, while sharing elements with the afore-named composers, communicates in a musical language that’s all […]
