Symphony no. 6, op. 23

Album by Nikolai Yakovlevich Miaskovsky & Symfonický orchester Slovenského rozhlasu & Slovak National Opera Choir & Ladislav Holásek & Róbert Stankovský

Symphony No. 6, Op. 23 is the sixth symphony by Nikolai Miaskovsky, composed in 1923. The score combines late-Romantic orchestration with leaner, more introspective themes and chromatic harmonic language, marking a shift in Miaskovsky's middle-period output towards more concentrated, often sombre symphonic writing that reflects the changing musical climate of early Soviet Russia.
First released: June 1992
