Boris Arapov - "Chamber & Symphony Music"

Here's a real gem and rarity (although apparently this has also been posted on a lossless blog, bless the 'net, no??) by the massively talented and tragically neglected Boris Arapov (1905-1992). 
Arapov oriented himself first of all towards the officially desirable composition style and worked primarily with nationalist elements, mainly restricting his subject matter to Russian folklore. Then around 1960, his compositional style started to become more experimental, introducing a more complicated harmonic, rhythmic and sound color. As subject matter, he more often selected works of literature. Although this later work is generally tonal, the levels of internal discord are higher. In his very last works, Arapov introduced a religious subject matter. Enjoy.

It must be due to the file names being in Russian, they are screwy due to the characters being messed up. I can only shorten the file names, or can you do the same yourself? As in, just change the file names? I guess you are using a pc/windows?
