Title: Lopes-Graça Symphony from Naxos

Just noticed the forthcoming release on Naxos of this very interesting-sounding Symphony from 1944 by Portuguese composer Fernando Lopes-Graça (1906-94):

Try the (different) performance on Youtube for an idea of the piece...

There's a lot of information about Lopes Graça and other Portuguese composers on this excellent website. Unfortunately it's not in English.
