Amen, brother! Nice.

Symphony No. 2 in E major, op. 10

The first was succesfully Mendelssohnian, the second is failingly Schumannesque. The outer movements are quite similar in mood, lacking a sense of development and purpose. The most interesting movements are the second, a noble and poised dirge, and the third, an ebullient scherzo. The overall feeling is one of disconnectedness and lack of purpose. Meh.



Orpheus
Ce qu'on entend sur la montagne

Unrestrained, unabashed and unforgettable lyricism is the name of the game.

That would be contrary to what I think about Gade's Symphonies.

I'm communing with Sergei today; time for all seven symphonies, barring interruptions. Don't call me. Unless there's an emergency (eg: someone has found a recording of his first wife, Leni).

And, in my view, an excellent set for the endeavor!  (Listening to all seven symphonies, I mean, not having your spouse abandon you.)

[Mister Sharpe]

  Thanks, Karl, love the impetus and snap Ozawa gives the first. Much as I love numero uno it unfortunately dominates in the music hall and on the airwaves. And for the record I slipped and wrote Leni, it should be Lena.

By accident rather than design, I've reached the end of listening through 3 of my purchases from last November all at the same time. On a first listen not everything is completely amazing, but all of them have a lot that is very worthwhile and some of it is amazing. I shall look forward to getting know this music better (only some of the Barber is familiar to me).
