What software was used in this computer realization of the score? It sounds a lot like NotePerformer after I apply substantial EQ corrections to its stock instruments, but the horns and trombones sound upgraded entirely. Whatever you used, well done--it's the best rendering of a large-scale work I've heard in a long time.
From listening to the few orchestral Moór pieces that are available I got the impression that he was a good composer, but not with a huge artistic range. After listening to this, however, I must revise that opinion. It is quite different from the C major symphony, lighter and more pastoral, but it works very well. A thoroughly attractive piece.
Yes, it would be interesting to know where he was in the world when he put pen to paper on this work. I don't suppose we will ever know unless there's a willing researcher out there!
@@martinrobertwalsh He's a fascinating composer, isn't he? There's always a lot going on in his music and, although he's a relative conservative, he seems to be able to give his Brahms-derived idiom a distinct twist, perhaps deriving from his Hungarian background.
A little correction: according to his Werkverzeichnis this is his Op. 45. Op. 44 is Serenade hongroise for Piano.

@@alanhowe7659 Indeed Alan. However, I think there are english and american "folk" influences also. He was quite a cosmopolitan by all accounts.
@@martinrobertwalsh That's very interesting. How we need more of his music recorded.
Splendid to hear this lovely work. Like Alan, I wish we had more of his music, especially the orchestral works, available in commercial recordings.
