Symphony no. 3

Album by Alfred Garyevich Schnittke & Kungliga Filharmonikerna & Eri Klas

Symphony No. 3 is the third symphony by Soviet-Russian composer Alfred Schnittke, composed in 1981. The work employs polystylism, dissonant harmonic language and abrupt contrasts in orchestral colour, incorporating pastiche and quotation-like gestures as part of Schnittke's expanding symphonic approach and reflecting his position in late-20th-century Soviet composition.
First released: 28th February 1990
