Walter Kaufmann: Symphony No.3
Aaron Avshalomov's 1st Symphony (familiar to you all I'm sure) came to mind as did Ernest Bloch and Respighi.
It's a magical and memorable score with a distinct Chinese feel to it.
"Courage is going from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm" (Churchill).

Quote from: Spotted Horses on May 17, 2024, 06:51:29 AMI found time to listen to the Dutilleux sonata, and it is indeed a brilliant work. Queffelec is superb, as always.

Indeed. It blew me away the first time I listened to it.
Part of the tragedy of the Palestinians is that they have essentially no international support for a good reason: they've no wealth, they've no power, so they've no rights.

Quote from: Pohjolas Daughter on May 17, 2024, 08:01:16 AMI haven't heard of those works before now.  Did somebody else complete them?  What's the story, morning glory?  :)

PD

According to Wikipedia, King Arthur Suite was arranged from incidental music for a BBC Radio production (1937) by Paul Hindmarsh.

Yes, one of my favorite Marco Polo recordings.

Same here. I have no qualms about Queffelec, but I noticed that I have a recording by John Ogden in a box set, and that there is a Kathryn Stott recording (and I am an admirer of hers). It's always nice to have different views of a complex work.
There are simply two kinds of music, good music and the other kind. - Duke Ellington

Bloch: String Quartet No. 3


Rather airless and dry recording.

Unfortunately, the Pro Arte Quartet doesn't sound much better, like it was recorded in a bathroom.

Quote from: Pohjolas Daughter on May 17, 2024, 08:01:16 AMOut of curiosity, I just checked out the listings on Amazon (for the individual CD).  The highest prices that I saw for it new (or used) was $45 and $35--both by the same vendor.  Did they adjust their price(s?)?  Or did someone actually pay that much for it? 

PD

The vendor isn't listed now.

Maybe they saw my post and got scared.
