I think of Jongen as a Western-European Rachmaninoff. They were contemporary, both musically prodigious, and both perfectly happy to express themselves in the tonal language of late Romanticism while the rest of the world went another direction. Thank you for posting.
This! He gives me so many Rachmaninoff-vibes without sounding especially similar to him. It seems he achieves the same "journey-like" style that I feel when listening to Rachmaninoff. A way of storytelling by music. Ingenious.
I had no idea Jongen had inserted his Danse Lente for flute and harp in this orchestral cycle! Now I just wonder which came first, the chamber music work or the Tableau Pittoresque… Wonderful work in all its components in any case.

Très belle partition avec un beau duo harpe et flûte
Beautiful colours, I love the flute and harp in mouvement II...

Spectacular orchestration, just marvelous.
Great composer! I've never heard of him earlier. Thank for uploading!
The final movement is some of the most festive music I've heard.
Ah!! Thank you. I love this piece. It's great to see it with the score.
