After a pleasant but rather bland beginning, this turned out to be a very enjoyable impressionistic symphony with a strong, vivacious, witty finale. I'll be investigating more of Bacewicz's music.

Fabulous- Thank you for all this Bacewitz music

[@galiaweasley9075]

Can you correct this? I don't think it's accurate:
1- Drammatico (9.58)
2- Andante (5.17)
3- Vivace (5.14)
4- Finale : Moderato (8.22)

The symphony is ok, with perfect structure and skillfuly orchestrated but nothing special. There is simply not enough inner energy to be memorable in long term.

I know what you mean. I just discovered Bacewicz so I should listen more before I trivialize her achievements, but beyond a genuine command of music theory, compositional tools and orchestration, her generativity lacks a single pivotal idea or sensibility. Yet there are tantalizing, propulsive moments--like 25:37.
