Vladimir Kryukov: Indonesian Landscapes, Op.58/2 "Lake Toba"

Details

Description

Kryukov (1902-1960) studied under Myaskovsky at the Moscow Conservatory until 1925 and worked as a broadcasting editor (1930–31, 1950–51), music director of the Theatre of the Revolution (1933–5), director of the Moscow Philharmonic Orchestra (1949–50) and composition teacher at the Gnesin Institute (1957–9). Like many of his Russian contemporaries, Kryukov was influenced by Skryabin’s music during the 1920s; his later works are less progressive in style.

Lake Toba is a large natural lake in North Sumatra, Indonesia, occupying the caldera of a supervolcano. The lake is located in the middle of the northern part of the island of Sumatra, with a surface elevation of about 900 metres (2,953 ft).
The lake is about 100 kilometres (62 miles) long, 30 kilometres (19 mi) wide, and up to 505 metres (1,657 ft) deep. It is the largest lake in Indonesia and the largest volcanic lake in the world. At Lake Toba the biggest volcano explosion occured - It has been accepted that the eruption of Toba led to a volcanic winter with a worldwide decrease in temperature between 3 to 5 °C (5.4 to 9.0 °F), and up to 15 °C (27 °F) in higher latitudes.
