Episode 3: The '-stan' Countries
Conductor Kirill Karabits explores the musical heart of eastern Europe and central Asia. In this final episode he focuses on the musical traditions of the '-stan' countries.
For many years the Ukrainian-born chief conductor of the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra, Kirill Karabits, has championed the musical heritage of his homeland, introducing it on stage to his concert audiences so that 鈥�...music lovers in Dorset may now be the most knowledgeable in the western world about the symphonic pieces of eastern Europe and central Asia鈥�.
In this series, Kirill takes us on a journey which starts in Ukraine and heads eastwards, exploring traditions, influences and connections to reveal the musical heart of this region. This final episode brings us to Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan and Tajikistan. From ballet music by the Soviet Azerbaijani composer Kara Karayev; to Franghiz Ali-Zadeh, known for combining Mugham folk traditions with 20th-century western music; and Tajik composer Tolib Shakhidi, whose pieces also synthesise east and west.
