These works sound as if written at the turn of the 20th century, certainly by an admirer of Scriabin’s Divine Poem. Both, in fact, date from the 1950s…The Bournemouth Symphony play the music with polish and full commitment under Karabits’s sure direction.

Karabits and his Bournemouth players really bring out the detail of Lyatoshynsky’s imaginative orchestration, and what might seem in other hands a somewhat sprawling work is here given a carefully shaped rendition of great intensity…The players react to [Grazhyna] with vigour and dedication, and their performances benefit from outstanding engineering. More Lyatoshynsky, please!

Reeking of cordite and resonant with tocsins, full of foreboding but often idyllic and colourful.

This is graphic music serving itself and the story well, and certainly worth getting to know.

Karabits's energy prevents the work from sprawling, and again, the playing is superb.

Genned-up listeners are well aware that Chandos has a particularly impressive record for dusting off unfairly neglected music, but few entries in the company’s catalogue are as remarkable as this.

The symphony’s spirited finale triumphs in a reiteration of a stirring Ukrainian folk tune with bells and brass resounding in celebration.
