Well, get listening, Sarge!  :)

Alas...real life interfered. I had banking and shopping to do. But I'm back home now. I'll prepare lunch and then sit down and enjoy my Lachs and Weißkrautsalat while listening to some Tchaikovsky  8)

Bad idea, Dorati's Pas de Deux is so damn good you might spill your plates! You got yourself 2 of the most important ballet recordings among a few others of all time!

Thanks, Howard. Your Tchaikovsky ballet thread led me to these CDs. I've listened to Sleeping Beauty twice now and a few movements from the Nutcracker. Both sound marvelous and the Sleeping Beauty is a great interpretation and performance by the conductor and orchestra. I'll listen to the complete Nutcracker tomorrow.

Wow! 'Das Siegeslied' isn't the easiest of Brian's symphonies... A big choral work from the 1930s, powerful and dark, the 'Protestant' complement to the 'Catholic' Gothic (which has its own peculiar darkness, of course). I wonder whether it's the right work to start with if Brian is still new to you. But you can always try!

Still, I suggest you download these other Brian works, too. They are purely instrumental and representative of the later Brian...

Symphony No 8 in Bb minor. Written in 1949. Performed by the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Sir Charles Groves (commercial recording, EMI, June 1978):

Elegy (A Song of Sorrow), a symphonic poem. Written in 1954. Performed by the BBC Northern Symphony Orchestra conducted by Brian Wright, on 19 December 1978.

I'd never heard the Still symphony but after reading about it in Alex Ross's book, and in the American composers thread, I decided to rectify that. I'm listening to it now; ideal music for a lazy summer afternoon:
