Compact Discoveries Program 20: "Controversial Comrade Kabalevsky"
With the fall of communism in the Soviet Union and the demise of atonal elitism in the West, producer/guide Fred Flaxman takes a new look at this major 20th Century Russian composer, and a new listen to his music. Compositions played include his romantic and tuneful first violin concerto, the "Overture to Colas Breugnon," and "The Comedians."
