AI Overview (Source = Google AI)
Julius Röntgen wrote 25 symphonies:
*Röntgen composed 18 of his symphonies during the last eight years of his life, from 1924 to 1932.
*Eight of those 18 were written in 1930.
*He completed seven in 1931.
*Some sources suggest that he may have composed even more, with some drafts potentially existing.
*His final symphonies were often concise, sometimes consisting of a single movement lasting around 10-15 minutes.

Wellesz, Symphonies



I have been revisiting these, in reverse order. After 9, listened to 8, 7, 6. I found them attractive, but in a detached sort of way. They are generally thorny works. When I got to 5 I found myself truly engaged. Based on this and my listening to the piano concerto it seems like I am more attracted to Wellesz' earlier works. The outer movements are compelling, but I think part that made the biggest impression was the third movement, Adagio Molto, which begins with light chamber music like voicing, and ends with a climactic passage for full orchestra.

Wow! That's a name I hadn't encountered in years. Alirio Díaz was very prominent in my childhood and early youth in Caracas in the 70s and 80s.

I hope it will evoke happy memories.

Another listen to CD 3.



As before, the Hurnik and Pauer works impressed me most. It seems these are the only recordings--from 1961 and 1981. Which is embarrassing--can't Supraphon or anyone else do another recording?
Or at least can't Supraphon release these recordings as part of an individual CD instead of hiding them in a box set?

The Pauer has been uploaded to Youtube, but the Hurnik apparently is not there.
