Symphonies Nos. 5 & 6....
Symphony No. 5 was another tough enough one for me.
Symphony No. 6 however was a different story and I actually enjoyed this one; it sounded like a different sound world to me somehow.

I think I'll have to look into that set at some stage.. they are of course, cheap enough... and I remember reading an interview with him about the development of CM during the 20th Century, and his determination to stick to his tonalist ideals, at a time when it was deeply unfashionable... for that, I think he deserves a hearing..fergus wrote:Symphonies Nos. 5 & 6....

Re: What are you listening to?
This CD came up recently in a conversation with another member and I simply had to play it again. It is a favoured disc in my collection....
Apart from the impeccable musicianship of the esteemed Musica Antiqua Koln an outstanding feature of this disc is the amazing sound quality which delivers wonderful textures from the instruments. The CD has a lovely intimate chamber music feel to it.

This CD contains stunningly beautiful music that I am already familiar with but the performances of Daniels, Biondi and Europa Galante are an equal match for the quality of the music!

I find I like this one, more than I would have imagined... some very interesting, varied and dark material on here...
Re: What are you listening to?
It is always interesting when we find something interesting from an unsuspecting source. I have never heard of the composer.Jared wrote:

Thank you for that Jared.
His first major composition, the Clarinet Concerto, was performed at the Cheltenham Festival of 1954 by Gervase de Peyer with the Hallé Orchestra and Sir John Barbirolli.
Not a bad way to start one's career!
