This one might be difficult (for some) and quite easy for others, but what are your Top 5 Favorite Works from Roussel? There are no stipulations for this poll. Have fun! ;D

My list (in no particular order):

Symphonies 2 & 3
Le festin de l'araignée
Evocations
Bacchus et Ariane

Suite in F Major
Symphony No. 3
Le marchand de sable qui passe

Great list, Brian. I'll have to turn my attention to Suite in F major as it's one that you seem to praise highly. I think I've only listened to it a few times.

It's just so darn FUN! A "light" music neoclassical masterpiece.
