Now I'm here.
 
I agree "Po Volne Moej Pam'ati " (1975) is the first Soviet prog album released OFICIALLY in USSR. Highly recommended.
 
Prog-jester, your father should know it! Check his collection.
 
Here is the cover of original album:
 
This one is remake, avoid it:

Yes, it's availavle on CD, and even in two versions -- the original one and the remake. The remake is slightly different and is not recommended as long as there is an original. I never heard the remake, I was only told it is not recommended. The original release (the CD of it, more precisely) is just wonderful, in my opinion. And there must be plenty of those CDs in shops...
 
At last, it may be simply interesting from the historical point of view.
 
But where is NotAProghead when there is a need to say a couple of words in favour of this album?

...and it seems that everybody has forgotten... has forgotten the very first Soviet Prog album -- Po Volne Moej Pam'ati (1975).
 
Does anybody here remember Vera Lynn... I mean, David Tukhmanov?

Prog + Yevtushenko = lyrics to PESNYARY's stunning 13-minute epic "VANKA-VSTANKA"

that's all I can contribute here

ARAKS is a great band,but doubtfully Progressive.I must check them again (borrow from my father's cassete collection)

 I think this is very interesting album. When I bought it in the middle of 1980s, I was very impressed at this music.
 
I'm getting curious here. Yevtushenko is well known Russian Soviet poet (one of my parents' favourites), and I like some of his poetry a lot. I never heard about him as a composer. Is it him who wrote the music for this album or is the music written by other composer(s) and adapted for Yevtushenko's verses???
 
 
 
 
This is the album cover. English title is Confession. This is no.4 favorite album of 80s Russian progressive rock.

Music was wriiten by Gleb May. ARAKS played music, Yevtushenko recited his poetry.
I found out the album has been reissued on CD. You can listen it here: http://www.russiandvd.com/store/product.asp?sku=41975&genreid=

indeed, he's great touch-giutarist...I saw video of him performing live in Donetsk at some local jazz fest...great...

Spacibo za otvet!

I'm not sure. Garion might have, but I don't know if he archived the music or just began letting PA know about the band. Yes. The details are being worked out for coming to Baja Prog. (you know visas must be obtained, etc) There are a lot of great bands playing their, so it is an honor to have been invited.




 
I will have them added just as soon as the CD is released so I can get that info as well. Need to have at least one cd out there. Wink

I found his compćilation of Tarkovsky soundtracks at the local library, and liked it much (though I had heard these on the films). I'll try to hunt down the album you recommended! Smile

Gradsky never participated in "The Star and the Death of Joakin Murieta". The album has been recorded by the band ARAKS with some guest singers.
 
Gradsky released, in the beginning of 80s, his own rock-opera, "Stadion" ("The Stadium"), dedicated to the events in Chile, 1973. Many Soviet rock and pop-stars have been involved in this project.
Those who interested can listen lots of Gradsky albums here: http://www.russiandvd.com/store/person.asp?type=artist&id=4962.
Better start with "Zolotoe star'e" ("Oldies Goldies"), tracks 1 - 15.

no.Not Prog, not interesting.

Zhurbin - Orpheus and Eurydice. This is supposedly a rock opera that was pretty successful in the USSR. My question would be how PROG is it?


It's not that Prog, it's a good piece of Music.From Russian rock-operas I'd recommend you "Juno and Avos" and "The Star and the Death of Hoakin Murieta"(btw, Gradsky participates here as long as I know).BTW, Russian Prog-Metal band EXTROVERT use to perform it when they were accompaniators in Irkutsk's Musical theatre

Originally posted by smcfee smcfee wrote:

Alexander Gradsky - poet who did some synthesizer albums said to be prog. I heard "La Vie Immediate" from mid-80s and it was not so great, but maybe the stuff from the 70s / early 80s are of more interest?


Well, Gradsky is a Must if you are interested in a Russian music and culture as a whole.He's not Prog, but he has incredible voice

Originally posted by smcfee smcfee wrote:

Giedrius Kuprevicius - Lithuanian who did two "important" rock operas in the 70s, but again, are they interesting to a prog fan?


Never heard of him. I know that Russian Art-Rock band DIALOG use to play two 30-40 min long pieces on Baltic poet's lyrics...forgot his name,sorry.

Originally posted by smcfee smcfee wrote:

Voskresenie - obscure "guitar psych" from early 80s... any good?


They would probably die laughunig from what you've written about them! They neither psych nor anything worthy.If you check the first page of this thread, you'll notice, that most of Soviet Rockers were obsessed with lyrics and pay little attention to musical side(kinda "bards with electro-guitars").Well, Voskresenie - typical example of that kind of music.

If you need Russian Prog recommendations, just PM me!
