How about Kalinnikov?

It's definitely not his First - but I don't see how he could be a 'trend-setter'...

I suppose it could be Joachim Raff, though I have no idea what type of symphonic music he might have invented. The sound-world is a pretty good match and there are plenty of symphonies there.

Yes. You are right. It is Raff.  He created symphonic suite which has nothing common with baroque suite.

It is secoind theme and beginning of third theme of 1st part of 1st symphony.

I really recomand you to try it to discover that you were cheated by history of music all your life.

May be I will write something more about his symphonies but now I'm really exhausted by writing some impossible elaborates in GMG Favorite threads

Congrats, Brian. I had been trying to think of that composers's name I remember an old Nonesuch LP of the "Lenore" Symphony (?)

I have and very much enjoy Raff's Symphony No 4 from that Tudor series - might have even used the scherzo from that symphony in this game if mszczuj had not beaten me to it! The full box set has been on my wish-list for quite some time.

I'm afraid this one is very easy indeed. Hopefully it will attract someone who hasn't won before. :)

I was thinking of using loud theme from finale of No.4, theme from Scherzo of No.5. of Scherzo of No.6 and of Finale of No.3 (this is one of the best symphonic movements I ever heard). I suppose there is more than twenty themes which are perfectly suitable for this purpose in Raff Symphonies. He was regarded as best symphony composer in 1860-s and one of the best in 1870-s. And shortly after his dead he was absolutely out of repertoire. In my opinion he created model of symphony dominating in second half of 19th century. Probably all symphony composers of this time was influencend by him - I'm sure Tchaikovsky, Dvorak, Bruckner and Mahler were. But I'm in the very beginning of my raffian way and I'm sure i will find more connections. He was probably first who connected independent movements of symphony in groups of two - like Mahler did after him.

I'm really glad I've discover this composer because I was almost sure I would never have again so much fun from listening symphonies like I  had when I was young newbie to the classical music. But I have it now. And the whole cycle is inbelivable - I especially like nos 2-6 at present

I recognised the clip straight away, nice one. But I've hogged this thread enough recently. I'll come back tomorrow, if no one's got it by then :o

It's Poulenc's Concerto for 2 Pianos & Orchestra in D minor: Allegro ma non troppo.
A lovely work.
Can Amfortas or someone upload something of their own choice? I have nothing prepared at the moment :(.

Got it, but will give someone else a chance.
Lovely piece, heard it in London some years ago and it stayed in my memory while the rest of the programme vanished.  Nice string sound in this recording.

My guess: A pretty clarinet concerto by....Finzi?

Hi Amfortas,

Yes, and a pretty answer too.

It's from the Naxos recording, Howard Griffiths and the Northern Sinfonia.

It's certainly your turn now.

You sort of clued me in by mentioning hearing it London....


Here's the next Mystery Clip....

reminds me of a piano concerto by RUTAVAARA, or it was recorded at an outdoor festival somewhere.

I can see why it reminds you of that work, but that's not it. It was recorded in a concert hall.

If not Rautavaara may be Kalevi Aho?

cor anglais, but surely not Donizetti or Wolf-Ferrari... maybe 5 questions would get me closer?
