What are you listening 2 now?

[Symphonic Addict]

Alwyn: The Moor of Venice (arr. for orchestra)

Alwyn rarely disappoints. Dramatic and atmospheric as its title can suggest.





Atterberg: Ballade and Passacaglia on a Swedish folk theme

A little-known Atterberg for many, and I don't get why! The composer knew his stuff: noble melodies, heroic vistas, great endings...





Svetlanov: Daugava Symphonic poem

Very in the vein of Myaskovsky and Eshpai. A splendid and thrilling piece. Svetlanov wrote some remarkable music too besides being a phenomenal conductor.

Eduard Tubin
Symphonies 9 and 10
Volmer and Jarvi

Back to back Tubin conducted by Jarvi and Volmer in 9 and 10 to close out the evening. Very little to choose between them, as both are of a high standard. Thankfully, there's no need to choose.

[Bachtoven]

Wow. Purists will probably hate this due to all the extra voices and other changes he makes, including playing the Chacone in F# minor instead of D minor--heretical! Many guitarist fill out the textures a bit with added bass notes or slightly filled-in chords, but he adds entirely separate voices at times! I found it enjoyable and marvel at his ability to play such incredibly demanding passages so effortlessly. By the way, the woman is just a cover "prop"--she doesn't perform on the recording!

I'm still deciding what I think... it was my first time listening in-depth to Fricker. They definitely had their strong points, but none of the pieces stuck in my memory beyond hearing them. I'll definitely return to the other works in this set, just to see if they make a greater impression on me.

I definitely found a lot to like about Erkin - the influence of Turkish music is front and center. I particularly liked the Violin Concerto, not least for the impressive contributions of Mr. Buswell.

And finishing off tonight's listening with Ginastera's Estudios sinfónicos, an impressive orchestral tour de force (AFAIK, this is the only commercial recording it's ever received).


Once again, we can only be grateful to conductor Arturo Tamayo for making important but not widely performed 20th century music available on CD in polished performances!

One of my favorite Ginastera CDs.

[Symphonic Addict]

Dvořák: Overture 'My Home'

I must remind myself about the musical quality of his other orchestral output besides the symphonies.





Walton: Symphony No. 2

Superb account of this stupendous work, quite likely my favorite performance.

[Mirror Image]

Dvořák: Overture 'My Home'

I must remind myself about the musical quality of his other orchestral output besides the symphonies.

Indeed. If the symphonic poems don't catapult him into the pantheon on greats, I don't know what would!

[Mapman]

Vaughan Williams: The Wasps - Aristophanic Suite
Boult: London Philharmonic

The overture is great! I'm surprised that I hadn't heard it before.

[Mirror Image]

Now playing Disc 3 from the Sibelius Ormandy set:

[Operafreak]

Louise Farrenc: Symphonies Nos. 1 and 3-   Radio Philharmonie Hannover des NDR, Johannes Goritzki

[Symphonic Addict]

Indeed. If the symphonic poems don't catapult him into the pantheon on greats, I don't know what would!

All of them representing the indefatigably brilliant composer.
