I missed that episode!  :o ;D

Bingo! Yes, his string quartet.




Nice hint! With a funny YouTube vid as a bonus. I am busy editing at the moment. I'll put a new mystery clip up in a few hours' time... But if others are impatient, they can have my turn.

A composer who deserves more exposure. This work is a minor masterpiece.

It's a tone poem. And it has to do with a death.

Karlowicz maybe? Some parts reminded me a bit of his tone poems.... not completely sure.

This composer is older than Karlowicz. He belongs to the generation of Mahler, Strauss, Nielsen and Sibelius.

 Nice clip............Albéric Magnard ?

Steve comes, Steve listens, Steve conquers.


Yes, it's Albéric Magnard's great Chant funèbre, Op. 9, from 1895, a tone-poem written in memory of his father.
