Sunday Bandstand 25 November 2018

Aram Khachaturian ( b:1903 in Tbilisi, Georgia - d:1978 in Moscow, Russia) was a talented composer, whose compositions became part of the musical classics of the 20th century. His name is recognised throughout the world, and the compositions are performed worldwide, on the best theatre stages, concert platforms, as well as the most distant places.
Today, the music of Khachaturian is played on the radio, TV and cinema. The UNESCO places the name of Khachaturian among the most renowned composers of the 20th century, and his 'Sabre Dance' of the well-known ballet 'Gayaneh' takes one of the first places in the list of the most popular compositions of our age.
Whilst there is a brass band arrangement of his 'Sabre Dance' on this show we are playing another of his pieces the 'Adagio from Spartacus and Phrygia' arranged by Gordon Langford, and still a popular brass band concert piece. The performance is by Sun Life Band MD: Roy Newsome - 1992

Enjoy the show......
