Leokadiya Kashperova

[Eine Alpensinfonie]

I switched on COTW just in time to hear the Elgarian slow movement of Kashperova’s Symphony Op.4. My first instinct was to rush to buy a CD, download or whatever might be available. But I drew a blank.

But at least it’s on YouTube.

I had been contemplating starting a thread, but to be honest found her music predictable and lacking in personality and originality, and decided not to listen further after the first two programmes. The chamber music was quite pleasant but struck me as similar to Fauré in pianist techniques while altogether lacking his harmonic subtlety and sensibility. I'm not surprised she turned down Liadov's suggestions for the first symphony, given that he was so much more imaginative than she.
