USSR Radio Symphony Orchestra conducted by Edvard Chivzhel I - Maestoso cantando - Largo cantabile - Allegro vivace: 0:00 The sixth symphony by Gavriil Popov was composed in 1969, written in a single movement composed of three sections that merge together. A symphony that shows us the impressive compositional technique of its author. The first section, maestoso singing, begins with an epic theme interpreted in unison by the horns. Then the motive is taken by the trombones, with the horns in counterpoint. The tempo is animated with the entrance of the trumpets, taking the aspect of a march. A silence interrupts the development. A lively allegro begins accompanied by the sound of the bells, as if to make sense of the word festive. It continues with fragments of great sound virtuosity, until the moment when the clarinet interprets the second theme of pastoral characteristics. It continues with a special development section, in a mix style between Bartok and Mahler.
