Avshalomov -- Hutongs of Peking -- Yu Long & Shanghai Symphony Orchestra
https://youtu.be/dlI-VGJLTWc?si=9mYiGMA-TGkQBFVDThis is the first time I've heard of Aaron Avshalomov, let alone the 1931 "Hutongs of Peking"; of course, this might reflect ignorance or at least parochialism on my own part rather than any obscurity of Avshalimov.
Oddly enough, I was reminded of another piece of orchestral topographic programme music composed only a few years before, Resphighi's "Pines of Rome".
I wonder how popular or well known this piece is amongst Chinese music lovers today.
The notes by DW in the description section provide helpful biographical information on Avshalimov.
