Chimes: Upon Reading V. M. Shukshin (Russian: Перезвоны — По прочтении В. М. Шукшина, romanized: Perezvony — Po prochtenii V. M. Shukshina) is a choral symphony by Valery Gavrilin.
The texts, inspired after a reading of Vasily Shukshin, are compiled from folk poetry, Albina Shulgina, and Gavrilin himself.
The premiere in 1984 was seen as a turning away from European themes to Russian themes in Gavrilin's output.
[1] The work was recorded by Melodiya in 1988, with the soloists Natalia Gerasimova, Svetlana Beloklokova, Ludmila Slepneva, Anatoly Lyubimov, and the Moscow Chamber Choir, conducted by Vladimir Minin [ru].
