Symphony No. 9 - Alfred Schnittke
Information about Symphony No. 9 by Alfred Schnittke, and the best recordings available on CD or for download.
The score was left almost unreadable at Schnittke's death, because a stroke had paralyzed his right side, forcing him to write with his left hand, but it was later deciphered by the composer Alexander Raskatov and premiered in Germany in 2007.
The work was written in 1996-97.
