Is it Kallstenius, the Swedish composer? There is something in the harmony in the beginning that reminds me of him.

Can't be him since I never heard of him.


It's not RVW or Arnold either.

However the composer has a genre in common with those two. A genre not found with every composer (this piece is NOT in that genre).

A two piano concerto (is that whay unites them)?

Could it be by Poulenc?

Edit: Or rather; Milhaud (which this music sounds like)?

No. Not French. Think of different musical genres.  RVW and Arnold excel in many, and they have one particular genre in common with this composer, but not all composers wrote in that genre. I just thought that would narrow it down for you. In any case, this piece is not of that genre. It's a work in 4 movements, not often performed. The composer is well-known on a board such as this, if not to the public at large.

Yes, they have film music genre in common.
But I repeat, this is NOT film music.

Not Korngold either.

Alwyn?

OK, Alwyn is a good guess, as were RVW and Arnold. This is indeed an English composer.

The work is his only symphony, as far as I know. It goes by a unique name and this is from its 3rd movement

Yes! From this recording  :D



Movement III: "Blue, the colour of Sapphires, Deep Water, Skies, Loyalty and Melancholy"

    Gently flowing: slow, with chords used to depict the lapping of water against a moored boat or a pier

I hope you heard it with "fresh ears"  ;D

Is this the tone poem 'Macbeth'? [Guessing it actually is R.Strauss]

Not by Strauss, but by a near contemporary.

Not Schreker. Anybody else willing to hazard a guess before I start offering some clues?
