Henri Sauguet: Symphony No.1 'Expiatoire'
A most underrated work:
"Courage is going from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm" (Churchill).

'The test of a work of art is, in the end, our affection for it, not our ability to explain why it is good' (Stanley Kubrick).

In effect that means I will listen in my office sporadically, for it will take at least another month before all is ready in the listening room. That is if all goods arrive in time. So I know you are all sad that I am temporarily out of the thread duty....or not, but for those interested, now you know ;D  ;D  ;D
I enjoy reading your posts!

I'm still not very familiar with the Lobgesang Symphony, but the performance of the Scottish is excellent.

Quatre chansons françaises (Jill Gomez, Simon Rattle, City of Birmingham SO)

Remarkable both pieces.

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.
