This is the same year Robert Simpson's 9th symphony premiered..there is a little bit of similarity in the slow movement here and some moments in Simpson's great opus. I'm liking the strength of the motifs, the interesting material here. It's a very strong work and I have not listened to Rochberg before, but am impressed with this.
@@braedonkirkpatrick2143 Exactly. I came to study with him in the 1960's BECAUSE he was a leading serial composer. I still greatly admire his Symphony no. 2. (as did George Szell). I don't hear this work as being against the voice heard in Sym. No. 2, even though the language is no longer serial. HIs move to polystylism, so controversial at the time, is now embraced by a huge number of. other composers. I think it would be overstating things to ever call him a "neo-Romanticist".

I'm so glad Rochberg wrote this before he got traditional again - This is strong American desolation music! As Stupendous as Roger Sessions ! !
He wrote this in the mid 80s, more than 10 years after he shifted to his "traditional" style

Belle symphonie vigoureuse et riche.
Wonderful work by a composer who started out as an atonal serialist. Rochberg is hugely underrated & a pioneer of the modern neo-Romantic movement.
And... he didn't START as an "atonal serialist". See his first string quartet, Sym. No. 1., or Night Music.
I must get this score !!!
This was recorded in May 1990.
And it's LIVE apparently. You can hear folks coughing.
The march music in the second half is fun.
Great! Mysterious!
nice
What is that image supposed to have to do with this music?
!!!!!!! And i would prefer the landscape without the car
Que raro que aparezca la luna ?!
It's so obvious we didn't go to the moon.
Dragon Energy enlighten us with your brilliance.
Then how did we get that rock?
