I don't really know enough of Langgaard's music to vote but I really like Sfærernes Musik. Great stuff.

[Rinaldo]

Couldn't resist that little jest, hope I didn't offend much (unlike Rued, I have no problem with Nielsen whatsoever).

Anyway, challenge accepted! I'm excluding the obvious #1, Sfærernes Musik, and the symphonies – believe it or not but I've yet to hear them.

Symphony 6

I was just listening to The Heaven-Rending tonight and it was absolutely incredible. Good choice here, Jeffrey.

Thanks John - it's a fine work. I have three recordings of it.

Symphony No.1 "Pastorals of the Rocks"
Symphony No.2 "Awakening of Spring"
Symphony No.4 "Fall of a Leaf"
Interdikt "At the Grave of Christopher I in Ribe"
Fra Dybet (From the Deep)

Great choices, Sarge. Hard to believe Langgaard was 16 when he completed his first symphony and, if this weren't astonishing enough, it was premiered by the Berlin Philharmonic.

I don't really know enough of Langgaard's music to vote but I really like Sfærernes Musik. Great stuff.

I'm slowly getting more and more familiar with Langgaard's music that I think I can pick five favorites right now (in no particular order):

Sfærernes Musik
Symphony No. 6 "Det Himmelrivende"
Symphony No. 2 "Vårbrud"
Fra Dybet (From the Deep)
Sinfonia interna

[Karl Henning]

Fra Dybet (From the Deep)

Fra Dybet

Setting of the Psalm?

[Sergeant Rock]

Setting of the Psalm?

No, the Requiem prayer: Requiem æternam dona eis, Domine. Et lux perpetua luceat eis. And a bit of the Dies irae.

Sarge

[Karl Henning]

Thank you!

My current list:

Symphony No. 6 Det Himmelrivende
Symphony No. 4 Løvfald
Symphony No. 10
The End of Time
Music of Spheres

I'd include the rapinoso String quartet No. 3, the broadly majestic Symphony No. 1 Klippepastoraler, Fra Dybet, and The Star in the East BVN 180.

[vandermolen]

My new list:

Symphony 4: 'Fall of the Leaf'
Symphony 6: 'Heaven-rending'
The Music of the Spheres
Sinfonia Interna (has one of the most beautiful openings known to me)
Symphony 10

Caesar (SA) and I are pretty much in agreement.
