Quote from: Brian on May 16, 2024, 09:28:11 AMYeah, I think if anything Farrenc's symphonies are even more muscular and dramatic than most Mendelssohn symphonies (the exception being his First perhaps).

Berlioz and Beethoven comparisons would be fair--but that particular Scherzo kept reminding me of the music for Midsummer Night's Dream.

Quote from: Roasted Swan on May 16, 2024, 08:42:46 AMSorry to do that!  For me it really is one of the very few Previn recordings of just about anything that I don't love.

For me too.

I love Iranian classical music and this Iranian composer Reza Vali is not a representative of what interests me in the music of his country.

Yes, Previn's LSO Symphony No.1 gets a bad press but I liked hearing a different take on it.

Regarding Belgian music, that CD has become a sort of classic.
