Compact Discoveries Program 12: "Crazy About Kalinnikov" Kalinnikov's two symphonies should be as popular as those of Tchaikovsky. But they are not. You'll want to correct this situation, at least in your own home, when you hear these performances by the Scottish National Orchestra conducted by Neeme Jarvi and the USSR Symphony conducted by Evgueni Svetlanov.
