Douglas Lilburn came to be New Zealand’s most important composer of the 20th Century. He studied with Ralph Vaughan-Williams and became acquiesced with his master’s music and that of Jean Sibelius. When Lilburn returned to his home, he set to become an important voice in the Oceanian isles. His Symphony No. 2 of 1951 was not premiered until 8 years later. It is a piece in which a strong influence of Sibelius, yet with a powerful southern feeling inspired by the mountains, forests and seas of New Zealand.
Douglas Lilburn llegó a ser el compositor más importante del siglo 20 en Nueva Zelanda. Estudió con Ralph Vaughan Williams y se encontró profundamente inspirado por la música de su maestro y la de Jean Sibelius. Cuando Lilburn volvió al hogar, estaría en camino de convertirse en una voz importante de Oceanía. Su Sinfonía No. 2 de 1951 no fue estrenada sino hasta 8 años después. Es una pieza con gran influencia de Sibelius, pero con un apasionado sentir del sur inspirado por las montañas, bosques y mares neozelandeses.

What a delight of a Symphony! Unique voice of New Zealand, with hints of Sibelius. Thank you wonderful, wonderful Lilburn.
Very beautiful symphony. 3th movement is very airy and representative of the skyes in New-Zeland.
Hermosa sinfonía de Lilburn...mi segunda preferida de su ciclo...
Walton 2nd? ? V. Williams´"Pastorale"? "Saturn" of the Planets of Holst? Nr. 3 of Bruckner? The scaling up of such dramaticism and tension, reminds me something (but no, not the 7th of Sibelius), but I´m unable to precise, sorry. Anyway the "Prelude-Moderato" is outstanding - greatness with G. The Scherzo is a suprising masterpiece and there, yes, there is some Sibelius and even Bartok. It may sound ridiculous but after the Scherzo, sorrym the 3rd and 4th movements are slightly disappointing. My mistake in anticipating something different, full energetic Brahm´s style? My error, mistake, non sense. A great piece, overall.
Also some William Walton, I think.
It's Sibelius. But none the worst for that.
