His mighty Fifth Symphony, a work almost an hour in length, is obsessive and violent, with the two outer movements, wild kaleidoscopes of whirling colors and driving energy, framing a tragic slow movement and a sardonic march. The much earlier Double-Bass Concerto, which sits downstream from Shostakovich, shows the same grim sense of humor in the teeth of the dancing indifference of fate. A critic once wrote of Tabakov's music: \"In his concert music as well as in his symphonies, Emil Tabakov insists on selection and dynamics, on the large-scale development of a small in volume, but focused, thematic material. Tabakov's music is the music of movement, it rarely carries us into spaces of contemplation or frozen calm; it's movement forward in time is determined by the composer's magnificent technique with which he works the material, turning it into music and theses and antitheses, of culminations and lows.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Toccata","offers":[{"title":"New \/ CD \/ Complete Symphonies 4 Toccata","offer_id":47260034859316,"sku":"TCCT530.2","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0790\/7436\/1652\/files\/3679609-2409724.jpg?v=1744167153","url":"https:\/\/www.fye.com\/products\/tabakov-radoukanov-complete-symphonies-4_aec-tcct530-2","provider":"FYE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
