The Symphony after 1945

[ferneyhoughgeliebte]

I like Tippett 2.Saying that, its the only Tippett symphony Ive heard.

Go for Nos 3 & 4, 3VS, I think the Third will be up your street.

I'm on the look out for my next symphonic adventure. Was up in town on Saturday at HMV OXford Street and Harold Moore. But couldnt work out what to get! (Still need to get Max 3 and 4 though!)

Has anyone mentioned Tubin? Not exactly my cup of tea (too much "sound and fury signifying nothing") but others have been very enthusiastic on other Threads.

Best Wishes.

Too late now! Off to Wales next week. They dont have any shops!

Tippett 3 and 4 will be a 2012 job.

3VS

Too late now! Off to Wales next week. They dont have any shops!

There's one in Abergavenny, but they probably won't have one in stock!

Tippett 3 and 4 will be a 2012 job.

... which will make for a very Happy New Year!

Best Wishes.
