I only know the Threnody to Toki, op.12, but holy shit, it's killer. Must hear more from this composer ASAP.

Any recommendations?

Listen/buy whatever symphonies and concertos recorded on Chandos. Absolutely superb stuff !

+1 especially symphonies 1-3.

I started with this CD which made a big impression on me:

Must admit I haven't heard Threnody to Toki! I highly recommend his Symphonies 2 and 3 - colorful, energetic, rhythmic, and accessible works that even employ some cool avant-garde effects from time to time. His style can occasionally verge on the "banal", but I think in these two works he manages to avoid that flaw.

Just bought the disc Jeffrey pictured. Excited to hear more from this composer, his music seems quite unique.

Hope you enjoy it. It duplicates 'Threnody to Toki' but the 2nd Symphony is very good. It's a while since I heard it but I recall that it has a beautiful slow movement. His music does sound a bit 'Mike Oldfield' at times but that is not a problem for me.

The finale of the Third Symphony is so much fun to listen to!


Something to dance to.
If you are interested in listening to orchestrations of solo/chamber music, you might be interested in this thread.
Also looking for recommendations on neglected conductors thread.

Indeed it is! You'll find that the finale of the 2nd Symphony is suspiciously similar... ;)
