I'm about half-way (I think) through "A Brief History of Time" at (I think) the moment, and I'm beginning to wonder

You said that next week!

Today:

Weinberg
Symphony No.5 opus 76 (1962)

I'd love to know what you think of this work Roehre.
IMVHO it's one of his finest symphonies (sort of Weinberg's DSCH 4 maybe).
Is that the Polish RSO Chandos recording ?

HIya Jimbo,

Of course not. I'm working my way throught the set. Somtimes dipping in. I will be playing the set over the next few days.

Perhaps your answer could be 'yes, but necessarily in the right order!'

My guess would be TtN.

Bryn is right: last night's TtN.
This work reminded me more than once of DSCH's orchestral works, especially the intro of the Leningrad before the fascist invasion starts, but more interestingly also from the 15th, which in 1962 still lay just short of a decade in the future.
The atmosphere is IMO very similar to the latter, though with a richer orchestration.

Reminded me also of Meyer's orchestral works (Meyer being another Polish DSCH pupil), especially his Poem for Viola and orchestra, also from 1962.

But the work confirms my (and your ) opinion that Weinberg is more than due for a revival of his output.

If I'm listening to a set, then I'm listening to a set. No big deal!

Indeed so - has Sir Simon's interpretation of them changed much since the CBSO cycle?

Hiya Cloughie,

Rather too early to say. I'm still working through them. First thoughts are that beauty of sound seems paramount and they are broad in scope.

Thanks guys.
I've been away for a couple of weeks,not had time yet to catch up with TtN.
Weinberg influencing DSCH maybe Roehre ?
Must investigate Meyer too.
