Good morning all,

Some Debussy songs to start the day.
The Ariettes oubliées are gorgeous !

They are amongst my favourite Debussy songs.

Miaskovsky: Symphony No. 13 Op. 36 [Svetlanov]





Another short symphony at 20:26 mins. Once again I find that brevity condenses energy, power, drama and tension, and again contrast, into a relatively short work and certainly nothing suffers in terms of quality as a result. The orchestral writing in the slower sections is just superb, I find.

Diverting from the Miaskovsky craze: 

Have listened only to the Op. 88. It's very good and conveys the passionate and dreamy Schumannesque soundworld in a convincing and engaging manner. SOTA sound.

Thnx. I'll watch this space for further comments.

I've come to appreciate this work recently Fergus (Naxos recording). I was most impressed by the Ural Youth SO:

What a fine intro the first movement of No. 4 is. I forgot how beautiful. I have listen to the complete set 4 times, and still it surprises me.

Isn't that Vandermolen?

Isn't that Vandermolen? 

By Jove!

[André]

Looks interesting, André. What work struck you the most?

The last two, Laudi and Vistas, but the short slow movement of the string Divertimento is an absolute gem.

[Sergeant Rock]

Isn't that Vandermolen? 

It certainly is 

Sarge

[Florestan]

A beguiling VC with Italian operatic undertones, an epic Symphonic Fantasy  in three movements and a colorful though not particularly exotic-sounding overture, all of them attractively orchestrated and engagingly performed. Fans of Late Romanticism should give this disc a try.
