You didn't ask me, but, no, it does not. Only three or four of the later ones.

William Levi Dawson's superb example of orchestral handling: The Negro Folk Symphony is something like Atterberg meets negro folk tunes. This is quite great to some extent regarding originality. Very traditional but not for that a minor work. This has personality. Remarkable stuff.

Yes, a wonderful work whose title belies its depth and sincerity. As good as the symphonies of W.G. Still and Florence Price are, this is even better. It's a real pity Dawson didn't compose any other large-scale works. I think Jeffrey (vandermolen) would enjoy it very much if he hasn't heard it yet. (BTW there's also an excellent Järvi/Detroit recording on Chandos.)

Indeed, Kyle. I loved this great symphony. Now I want to hear the Stokowski performance. Some claim that it's the most exciting one.

Too bad.

Are you looking to purchase that long OOP Quatuor Parisii set on Naive? I bought it a few years ago and it was quite expensive, but worth every penny. Some real gems here. Man, now I want to listen to some Milhaud!

Parents bought me the Chopin Complete Edition set on DG, so I'll definitely be digging into some of his music soon.

Britten
Phaedra, Op. 93
Sarah Connolly, mezzo-soprano
BBC SO
Gardner



This performance doesn't quite match the intensity of Baker/Britten, but it's pretty gloriously performed I must say.

[Sergeant Rock]

This is a fine set. 

It is indeed. I love Vlad's Third especially.
