Description:
The song known as Troika; evokes the old Russian three-horse carriage and the symbolism inherent in images of the vast distances of the Russian landscape; far away and unrequited love; the romantic melancholy of autumn. The Troika Variations are characteristic of Orekhov's improvisatory style; so closely influenced by Russian gypsy music. The arrangement; in another form; first made by Boris Khlopovsky; has been circulating among Russian guitarists for many years; and it was the one played by Alexei Zimakov in the 1991 GFA competition; a performance which won him the first prize.
