Thank you for performing and recording this undeservedly under-performed music. Also, congratulations for all you other music videos. Greetings from Cambridge, UK.
UNder thhe stalinist dictatorship, the composers were forced to write in line with the so-called 'socialist realism'. But unlike Prokofiev and Chostakovitch, who faced serevre problems, Katchaturian was a convinced communist and probably felt himself comfertable with this political line. We won an incredible number of offdicial prizes and honors. Actually, his music is most often as far from academic musical rules than that of Shostakovitch, but when Shostakovitch expressed an implicit ce ritical vision od the life in USSR, Katchaturian used soms popular or even folkloric tones, as we can hear in this trio, which is indeed sophisticatred under its popular and sometimes dancing tone. Nowadays, the music of Khatchaturian should be heard without taking these political considerations into account, just for what it is.After all, it is not so far from Bartok's 'Contrasts' foir the same combination of instruments, which clearly derives from traditional hungarian songs.
Dear Gerard, Khachaturians music is over the politics. In 1948 he was as well condemned in "formalist" and "western influences" as Shostakovich and Prokofjew. There are very good documentary here: th-cam.com/video/hIJUWrcA6Hw/w-d-xo.html

Dear Gerard, Khachaturian suffered even more than Shostakovich and Prokofiev and could not write pieces for many years. Your description is not just.
