Name that piece! The game

[Gurn Blanston]

I've ordered Mount Triglav. I have to know what's going on there. I'm going through the Philip's box set of Rimsky's operas right now, wonderful stuff.

What do you recommend as a starter for Onslow?

I don't know Lethe's piece, unless it's Swiss?

There's so much music and so little time.

It's good here.

This is the disk I got that clip from. I really like it!:

And if you are an orchestral person, then there is this:

[asin]B000063DLN[/asin] or this [asin]B000641ZE0[/asin]

He really was a chamber music specialist, but his 4 symphonies are quite fine. Anyway, that's where I would start. Keeping in mind that his specialty, string quintets, isn't even represented there!

They're French you know...   0:)

Nice cover.  Elegant symmetry between the clothes all with just a splash of red.

There seems to be a series of Onslow chamber recordings on two different labels... they're all pricey though.

Let's get this one out of the way, as we don't have too many biters - mega hint: it's a youthful work by one of the major composers of the first half of the 20th century. My previous clue rules out Stravinsky and Schoenberg:

A larger country than [Switzerland], though not one of the current economic biggies, and known for producing a couple of very major composers and a few fine also-rans.

I had guessed Poland previously....not right?

[Lethevich]

I had guessed Poland previously....not right?

Indeed not, but a similar "kind" of country, size, relative status in its region - at least from the perspective of a distant stranger such as myself.

Well, it's Bartók's Kossuth - an exceptional tone poem which deserves to be better known (and I thought already was ).

First come first serve.

Dang it, I've even heard that piece (once). 

[DavidW]

I am so surprised!   I never would have guessed!

Well, chalk up another one for the wishlists.

Have heard (and read) of it, of course . . . not sure I've ever actually listened to it . . . .

Well played, Sara!

Well you didn't, so we're not.......surprised.

[Amfortas]

I'm ashamed, since I call myself a Bartok fan

  Here is one I have had ready for a couple of days:

No, but not too far off
