Thanks Romy,
Yes, I will explore Khachaturian more...I like him even though he keeps company with the lesser respected of composers. It is kind of a shame that the secondary composers often get pushed aside by the major, important works of the First Echelon. Yes, it is obviously secondary and rather derivative, but does this piece deserve lesser admiration than, say, Beethoven's Appassionata or some of the other middle-period empty crap he composed? When will Monn's Cello Concerto in G Minor get its due?
The recording I have is in a box set of 10 Rostropovich CD's...Historic Russian Archives, I believe.
