As many of you remember the Unsung Tone Poems use to be my specialty until I contracted Parkinson's and my daughter leaving me for dead threw my entire collection of CD's  in the dumpster leaving me with nothing but YouTube to listen to. Somehow I recovered and sitting at the computer today I saw Alan Howe's name and it registered with me. I was listening today to the Charles Munch recording of Le Chausseur audit, a seldom played Franck piece. What a bright snappy recording, perhaps dated in the audio department but a piece that reminds me of a Star Wars movie soundtrack. Glad to be back.

Not a favorite of mine. Stravinsky is a hit or miss for me.

A wonderful movement. I like Glazunov.

Adriano, you are a marvel!! 

I say it again

Yeah, I have 2 CDs of his music from way back on Marco Polo.....very much impressionistic.

Agree. Have those also

bit of a reach but oh well.

hum, but I was most excited about the equipment and the recording of Tchaikovsky 

the buzz

Sounds like my first GE stereo when I was 10 

Sheherazade may be his most brilliant example, but formally it is quite a simple thing. Played in its piano reduction (which is always a good test for musical analysis) it becomes a bore...

so much to learn

1880-1944 an organist/composer

I look forward to your posts as I learn so much. An interesting what if. Scheherazade put Rimsky-Korsakov to the front with his orchestrations.

The world of unsung music !

yes,  the  "The Enchanted Lake"  is one of my favorites.   I found it interesting to research Lyadov and learn about this interactions with Rimsky-Korsakov.

I too did this research. Rimsky taught and influenced many.

Alas I have another recording but love his material. Quite unsung too.
