    Fehlerlose und detaillierte Interpretation dieses spätromantischen Tongedichts mit gut harmonisierten und perfekt balancierten Töne aller Instrumente. Der intelligente Maestro dirigiert das ausgezeichnete Orchester im gut phrasierten Tempo mit sorgfältig kontrollierter Dynamik. Einfach wunderschön!

    Really like the "expansive" nature of this music.

    Sibelius' Finlandia maybe robust and beastly enough with a touch of sweetness to it, but nothing could be more serene and elegant in the genre than this masterful work. Thanks very much for the upload, good human!
    I can only hope that I would be a fly on the wall in 'The Hall of Music Masters', in my afterlife, so that I can listen to them conducting their treasures; including Mahler's Tenth, the way he would have finished it!

    Bloch also wrote "America" and won first prize in the USA!

    Ultra-Romantic and lyrical, this is a very evocative work befitting its subject, but I got the impression that it strives too much for simplicity, and in the attempt becomes somewhat tiresome. It is beautiful regardless, bringing to mind Vaughan Williams or the Copland of "Appalachian Spring". I didn't know this work existed, but I'm glad it does, and that I've had the opportunity to hear it.

      Your first sentence is ridiculous. "Strives too much for simplicity??????" What in THE hell are you talking about? "Ultra-Romantic??? Just made that up, you did. "Becomes somewhat tiresome???" To you, because you don't have a clue as to what you're hearing? "Bringing to mind...Copland??????" Not EVEN close. Quit trying to throw out fancy sentences and pseudo-intellectual music critique because you just show your ignorance. Maybe you could get a degree in music, analyze about 1000 pieces, and then you could make a couple of reasonable statements...maybe! But, judging from your approach, I'd say, NOPE!

      First of all, I've never tried to set myself up as an expert or intellectual music critic. I'm only taking the opportunity this medium offers to share my subjective impressions and opinions. Unlearned as they are, they do reflect seventy years of listening to and loving "classical" music. That's my approach, and if it prompts other remarks, pro or con, I consider that to be a good thing that can be interesting and constructive. To address your specific points: By "striving for simplicity" I meant to indicate that the immediate appeal of this work is more evident than in some of Bloch's more austere efforts, and may have indeed been intentional due to his identification with the subject, having the purpose in mind of reaching a wider audience. By "ultra-Romantic" (a term that has been in use since the mid-19th century, first in a literary context, then applied to composers such as Mahler), I meant to indicate the character of a music that is imbued with, and permeated by, the love of one's homeland, a feature often absent in Bloch's more abstract scores, even though they may be in the Romantic idiom. (I admit that my analogy to Copland's "Appalachian Spring" was quite a stretch, but I was trying to point out this similar quality in the two scores, one that can surely be appreciated while listening to them.) Regarding the phrase "somewhat tiresome": I listened to it again and found it not at all so, and concluded that, as with much good music, familiarity increases one's appreciation and enjoyment. In any case, I didn't mean to disparage this work or its composer in any way, as I consider it a major work by a major composer.

      @@danielshumway7046 He is stating his subjective opinion not ignorance. Just because you may not agree is no excuse to hurl insults. As for your statement re degree in music, it reminds me of one of Thomas Beecham's classic lines - a musicologist is someone who knows all about the theory of music but can't hear it - priceless! That's from someone who really did know music.

      ​@@ronaldbwoodall2628 Yes, it is written in an accessible style, but one which does not talk down to its audience. I continue to find new musical gems every time I listen to it.
