Quote from: Symphonic Addict on January 27, 2023, 07:33:36 PMSchmidt: Symphony No. 4
Tubin: Symphony No. 10

Two formidable symphonies exceptionally played.



Fully agreed; both their finest recordings available.

... music is not only an 'entertainment', nor a mere luxury, but a necessity of the spiritual if not of the physical life, an opening of those magic casements through which we can catch a glimpse of that country where ultimate reality will be found.    RVW, 1948

nor in competing for the favor of wayward friends.

Quote from: Lisztianwagner on January 28, 2023, 02:56:56 AMInspired by Cesar's post on Schmidt, I'll try this piece I haven't listened to before (as well as all Schmidt's music in general, to tell the truth):

On youtube:
Franz Schmidt

What did you think, Ilaria? I'd suspect it's right up your street.
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: vandermolen on January 28, 2023, 12:41:32 AMTwo great choices Cesar! No.10 is my favourite of the later symphonies by Tubin and that's a fine recording of the Schmidt.

Quote from: Christo on January 28, 2023, 07:12:10 AMFully agreed; both their finest recordings available.



Absolutely!

Snowed in at the moment, so I've decided to finish this recording off.

I don't think I knew the Scherzo; it certainly lives up to its titular capriciousness.
