Rodion Shchedrin: Concerto for Orchestra No. 4 "Khorovody" (1989)

Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra conducted by / Orquesta Sinfónica de Bournemouth dirigida por Kirill Karabits.
Rodion Shchedrin (b. 1932) has been one of the major exponents of the late and post-Soviet musical landscape. His postmodern, neo-tonal style explores forgotten provincial Russian styles. His Concertos for Orchestra are a perfect example of this neo-folk approach; for example, in his Concerto No. 4, Shchedrin resurrects Slavonic musical rounds known as khorovods which are traditional in Southwestern Russia, Belarus and the Ukraine which mingle circle dancing and choral singing.
Rodion Shchedrin (n. 1932) ha sido uno de los mayores exponentes del panorama musical Soviético tardío y posterior. Su estilo posmoderno y neo-tonal explora estilos olvidados provinciales de Rusia. Sus Conciertos para Orquesta son un ejemplo perfecto de esta aproximación folclórica; por ejemplo en su Concierto No. 4, Shchedrin resucita las rondas musicales llamadas jorovod - tradicionalmente ejecutadas en Bielorrusia, Ucrania y el suroeste de Rusia - en las que se mezcla canto coral y danzas circulares.

What a shame, a really dynamic piece...but marred by those shrill, shrieking screeching HORNS. Or is this just a poor arrangement? Maybe other versions have softer horns? I have to keep the volume low or it'll hurt my ears. Very unpleasant to listen to those.
