Last post by Symphonic Addict - Today at 12:51:09 PMMore rapturous music by Riisager. The jocular ballet Benzin is the main attraction on this CD and also includes other two orchestral works: Archaeopteryx and Til Apollon, Lysets Gud, and something interesting to notice is the huge contrast of mood between the former and the two latter. Riisager also had skills to compose some pretty dark, ominous, menacing music as heard in those two aforementioned pieces. Another smashing hit of a disc.

According to Terry Pratchett's Good Omens:
QuoteWe'll win, of course," he said.
"You don't want that," said the demon.
"Why not, pray?"
"Listen," said Crowley desperately, "how many musicians do you think your side have got, eh? First grade, I mean."
Aziraphale looked taken aback.
"Well, I should think-" he began.
"Two," said Crowley. "Elgar and Liszt. That's all. We've got the rest. Beethoven, Brahms, all the Bachs, Mozart, the lot. Can you imagine eternity with Elgar?

Last post by Symphonic Addict - Today at 12:41:13 PMQuote from: Daverz on Today at 01:18:49 AMApparently Moeran's publisher felt the work was too long and suggested dropping the Intermezzo and Forlana movements.
That's unfair since the work is not long (lasting less than 24 min.). Maybe it would have had a different reception had Moeran called it a Suite.
