The Symphonistさんのイラストまとめ

Bruckner showed the Third to Wagner before it was even finished and dedicated it to his hero. The original often sounds half-way to being a different piece rather than a different version. Parts could have wandered into the symphony by accident from some other genre altogether.

@aquilanebula When you say Bernstein's is that all four of his recordings?

@ClassicFM The final chase sequence is an extraordinary combination of music and film.

Château Symphonist has been shaking to the sound of my favourite Leonard Bernstein recordings in honour of the great man's 104th birthday. Symphonies all the way for me of course:

Shostakovich Leningrad
Haydn Paris
Mahler 3
Copland 3

What about you? What are your favourites?

@KEVINMORT Perhaps I'm closer than you think.

After Britten's Sea Interludes last week it's La Mer on @BBCRadio3 Building A Library today. Debussy applied the finishing touches in Eastbourne where he said "the sea unfurls itself with an utterly British correctness". Who'll be found most correct today I wonder? #NoSpoilers

I've had a Robert Schumann symphony binge in honour of Bobby's birthday #OnThisDay in 1810. To think I once believed the ridiculous accusation that he wasn't a natural symphonist and couldn't orchestrate! These four sets all conclusively prove me wrong.

Fine Roussel, Rivier and Honegger by @OrchAuvergne. I'd never heard of Jean Rivier (1896-1987). His pastoral/neo-classical 3rd Symphony is a most attractive work. This Honegger 'Liturgique' will be a breath of fresh air to anyone who finds Karajan's licentious lushness cloying.

This afternoon's #MalcolmArnoldOdyssey listening: all three commercial recordings of Symphony No. 8, one of his most striking and disturbing scores and his last major work before a seven-year creative silence during which he was hospitalised and treated for depression.

Today is all about Resurrection you say?
Ok then. #NowListening
