Is it Jules-Verne-inspired?

Malcolm Arnold
Overtures
BBC PO - Rumon Gamba

Arnold certainly has one solid foot in stage & screen and one in the concert hall in these overtures.

That is currently my favorite recording of the 10th!

Is it Jules-Verne-inspired?

Apparently not. The booklet mentions the melancholic impression of the sun setting in the sea at Viateggio as the work's inspiration.

Watching the Jasper String Quartet in an intriguing program of Britten, Gabriela Lena Frank, and Dvořák, for the ensemble's debut at the Bowdoin International Music Festival.

Martucci: Symphony No. 1 in D minor

The first two movements contain the best ideas, where the first one has a strong affinity with its counterpart on Dvorak's Symphony No. 7.

Martinu's imagination simply was endless. What an astonishingly fun ballet! One catchy idea after another. There are some passages that are exhilarating and very cartoonish in a terrific way.

I agree. This is quite a fun Martinů ballet. Do you know The Buttery that Stamped, Check to the King or The Revolt? These are also worth checking out, IMHO.

[Number Six]

Browsing Apple Music recent releases, this lovely cover caught my eye. It occurs to me that I could use more choral/liturgical music in my life. This collection of Palestrina and Friends is hitting the spot tonight.

The only ballet of his I haven't listened to yet is Échec au Roi. I foresee it'll be another home run.

I'm still waiting on recordings of Istar, Le jugement de Paris and The Strangler.

Sessions: Symphony No. 2
Lopes-Graça: Symphony

Sessions's 2nd belongs to his more approachable style before the composer turned to a serialist/twelve-tone aesthetics. A gritty, tasty piece. The 4th movement has a vibe that brought Roussel's 3rd Symphony to mind.

The only symphony that the Portuguese composer Fernando Lopes-Graça wrote is a flat out masterpiece and I dare to say it's [quite probably] better than the ones by his compatriots Braga Santos and Freitas Branco. I did know that it is quite good, but today I confirmed its superb qualities. Recommended.

The other day I gave Istar's Suites a listen and I found them immensely enjoyable.

I wish someone would record the entire ballet --- it must be a pretty large work as it's in three acts.
