Fantastic and Masterpiece

There are 2 recordings of this symphony?? 😮Love the slow tempo of the opening compared to the other. The first movement is so beautiful.

[@MrBrunosvensson]

reminds me of the soundtrack to Conan the barbarian from 1982 by Basil Poledouris

[@sergiocampanale3882]

It certainly evokes images of mythological high adventure in the mind's eye, and it is very cinematic...

Same Ätnam, Same Ät-channel!

OK, I thought it was funny.

Great symphony, thanks for sharing! The third movement remembers me the last symphony of Sibelius.

[@andreykonovalov2324]

Beautiful symphony, however during the first part I couldn't help but notice the apparent similarity with the 3rd symphony by Gliere written a bit earlier, in 1911. I wonder whether P.-B. was familiar with this work

[@steveegallo3384]

I'd've liked to discern any similarity with Glière ...but couldn't. You have the sharper ear!

[@andreykonovalov2324]

@@steveegallo3384 I've been listening to Gliere's Third quite a lot recently, still can't make my opinion whether I like it or not, that's all!

[@andreykonovalov2324]

@@steveegallo3384 Well, I have known Gliere for 15 years at least and my opinion hasn't shifted yet. The truth is I am very puzzled why his profoundly nationalistic third symphony is so popular in western countries while in Russia (where he is generally considered as a rather mediocre composer) - not at all, moreover, his late Soviet works are more popular than second or third symphonies
