Youri Boutsko is known as an author of vocal, instrumental and chamber music as well as of music for theater and cinema. He wrote 4 Operas, 2 Oratorios, 7 Cantatas, 13 Symphonies and 18 Concertos for different instruments.
The musical language of Youri Boutsko was deeply inspired by Russian musical tradition, in particular — by works of Modest Mussorgsky and Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov. On the other hand, his music is based on the traditional Christian Orthodox liturgy: the composer often uses either themes that remind of the Znamenny chant, or its real citations.[1]
