Very nice. Performance by???

Very much in his earlier style of the symphonies 1 through 4. Thats Great by me. This wonderful music. Works to well !

Another fascinating piece of music you will never hear on BBC Radio3. Plenty of mediocre film music and quota-inspired choices though.

What's the photo, please?

It looks like the Orchestra is the Seattle Symphony Conductor Gerard Schwartz. As to to music... well.... Let's talk about the picture.

Thanks for the piano concerto. Finally let afterburner for a short while, but sure to return.

Thanks I will. I'm an old man with a new toy. All this new music. Maybe I'll live to 143.

I found it quite by accident . I have listened I don't no how many times. The finale is one of the most beautiful I have heard. On KZfaq it has introduced other composers that I have never heard of.

It's good to have access to this concerto. I'd love to know who the performers are: could you post their names?

How sad.....6 likes including mine.....such a wonderful, soul touching composition

probably alone here, but I hear the continuum from Delius' piano concerto ( which took 20 + listenings before I even liked it)

What fabulous music! 👌

Such a great symphony. So American and New England. I can't get enough of it.

Let me add my 2¢. All Walter Piston music is exceptional and so well crafted. This is probably his best symphony. Followed by #2 and #6. But i love them all. A great performance of course. His orchestrations are magnificent. Witty , melodic but acerbic but accessable but fun but pensive. Ok. Thats my 10¢ in. Thanks.

Walter Piston is one of the greats . I ❤ all his music. A very distinct style. For me personally, the American big three are Copland , Piston, Barber. (Diamond, Menin , Bernstein, Harris , Schuman, Rorem ,Creston , Korngold , Persichetti.), etc.

Whose art work is that? You should attribute the artist. Thanks!

I was there...I worked in the health care field back East when it all hit. Recently, this as being played on the radio as I drove back through the neighborhoods where I provided home care to the dear ones. We worked desperately to slow the disease process. This effected everyone, and this symphony takes you right back. Thank you.

The magic of Jorge Calandrelli's arrangements...

❤❤❤❤

Wow! What an undiscovered gem of a work! This work deserves a much higher profile.

I was getting flavors of Sibelius' Tapiola, Lemminkäinen, Finlandia, etc.

A very enjoyable listen!

Excellent performance of this work. Great recording and mixing, as well. Quite an adventure through this varied musical landscape, with no shortage of surprises jumping out at every corner along the way.

Not boring to listen to. Numerous tasty constructions along the journey through this piece, like jewels scattered along a dimly lit path meandering through a dark forest.

Овако је сигурно у паклу

Hi, MrWalkingbass. There are 7 tracks left from the original album. I was looking for It's impossible and Yesterday I heard the rain, but didn't find them. Why is that happens? Is there any way for having the full album? Thanks.

En el mayor de los silencios, mientras apunta el alba… ¡SOBRECOGEDORA !

This was composed in 1950......0:00 to start.

Es un puto espectáculo fónico... brillante lo de este tipo, un pedazo de genio Schoenberg

No spotify?

Oh que j’aime cette Symphony ! J’ai écouté de la musique toute ma vie, de Armstrong à Albinoni à Jarre à Gagnon et à 84 ans je fais encore des découvertes. Merci à la puissante Hélène Grimaud qui vient de me faire connaître Esa Pakka Salonen, Arvo Pärt et John Corigliano.

After playing his symphony for band in my high school wind ensemble, persichetti is definitely my favorite composer. Work to work, and he continues to amaze me. side note: the intro sounds very similar to Mahler 9 IV

Just heard this piece at the Philharmonic of Wroclaw, Poland, tonight. Conductor - Giancarlo Guerrero. Amazing. ❤

Меня это трогает.

What a remarkable masterpiece by such a young composer. So individual in voice and expression.

Très beau !

A magical dreamscape - I’m so happy that I stumbled across your compositions! Beautiful 👏🏻

The finale` is the best...not unlike Ravel's ' Pavane for a dead princess

Why do you cut out the 1st movement?

Such a great piece -- it be performed nationwide.

Very soothing reflective

I think it would have been fascinating if Jaqueline Du Pre had had a chance to play Schnittke's Cello Concertos. I think of her because these pieces are so full on and demand so much from the performer. They are also quite quite fantastic. There is also about them often a sense of devastated romanticism.

American composers as a whole are disgracefully underrated. Samuel Barber is one of the 20th Century's greatest composers, and there are many others whose music deserves to be performed and recorded much more often -- not only Walter Piston but also Aaron Copland, David Diamond, George Frederick McKay, Alan Hovhaness, George Rochberg, and even the eccentric Avram Avshalomov, among others. And, being British, I have no personal bias here. Only Barber perhaps rises to the level of Elgar, Vaughan Williams, Holst, Britten, and Tippett, but their music is very much worth listening to nonetheless.

Tremendoo

Kurt Atterberg just lit up my puny computer sound system. Another work to add to my favorite symphony collection.
