From this composer I also consider Vers la voûte étoilée to be another exceptional and very poignant piece. This is a splendid recording of it:



Just listening to this now and Vers la voûte étoilée is indeed an incredibly beautiful composition. Some terrific liner notes by our fellow GMGer Jens F. Laurson @SurprisedByBeauty

If I'm not mistaken they are on Spotify.

I love this music! Crisp, fresh, notes of light acidity and yet grand...
This Japanese group sounds better than the Dondeyne/Gardiens de la Paix, band...

I've been tepid about the recording, much as I love Vers la voûte étoilée, due to uncertainty trumping curiosity viz. the Symphony. But notes by our @SurprisedByBeauty cast another light on the matter entirely.

First listen to this recording. One of the most remarkable and colourful orchestral works I've ever heard from any composer. So incredibly captivating!

I do prefer the Segerstam recording to this one, it would seem.
