This IS a recording of the symphony! And it is made by the forces that have seen recordings of Diamond's symphonies released on Naxos. I'm not quite sure why this one doesn't seem to have been released commercially. Do you know?
This composer is one of my pantheon members, up there with Weinberg, Alwyn and Arnold, their discrete symphonic take truly expanding our musical horizons - thank you so much for this post!
What a terrific work, and such a surprise, too after the more dissonant Symphonies 6 - 9. It's just too bad that it hasn't been commercially recorded and that a score isn't available, either.
What a fresh, melodic start to this Diamond-faceted Symphony, and the painting seems to be a perfect visual depiction of it! An analogy of it formed in my mind as I listened: The first movement describes a newborn's exhilaration at the discovery of his new world, energizing and motivating him; the second movement brings an insecurity in new surroundings while learning valuable information for future use; in the third movement the adolescent is filled with adventurous mischief and some danger; in the fourth movement the young adult is contemplating the past and anticipating the future with an increasing knowledge of man and an awareness of his God. I think it's an amazing work, and this performance certainly deserves to be commercially released. Re Jacques Wilmore's comment: If this symphony has "no rules of movement", why did it seem so integrated, dynamic and purposeful to me? And why was its dramatic flow so convincing that it was one of the fastest 51-minute symphonies I've heard in a while? And why was the organ so brilliantly and seamlessly woven into the fabric of the work so as to seem inevitable? Questions to be pondered and answered only by my imagined analogous adult, perhaps.
Thanks for your conment! Very interesting that you mentioned the painting, firstly I didn't know what to put as a picture, but after seeing this one, somehow I was sure it was perfect for the music: the intense colours (I can see a blue three at the center!) The dinamism and the three-part division. Now I realise I did a good choice instead of a normal picture of the composer.
@@SergioCánovasCM You are right. Maybe one day it will be possible to hear the premiere by Kurt Masur and the New York Philharmonic. Once again, thank you for all these symphonies
Lamento que no, por desgracia solo está grabado el segundo movimiento, el Adagio. Tengo mis reservas con grabaciones de piezas fragmentadas o cortadas.
@@SergioCánovasCM Entiendo que Kurt Masur la interpretó completa en su premiere. Por mas que busco no he logrado encontrar si se grabó....sigamos buscando...!
This experimentation doesn't work to produce music. It is like a chess game in which pieces have no rules of movement and there is no check or checkmate. The game really disappears.
The 10th is not offensive, but tend to agree. Diamond's best efforts are in Symphonies Nos.1,2,4. His piano concertos are also interesting. Have something to say, and say it ! I have not heard any of his other works ,yet.
@@chrisforbes1796 Earless? I bet I've heard as much or more classical music including modern and avant garde then you. Composed more maybe too. But, this was 3 years ago and its time for me to give it another listen. I am always on the composer's side.
@@stevehaufe489 I am going to give it another listen and check out again your Diamond's that you like. I'm always on the side of the composer and want to hear what they have to offer.
Fantastic, an absolute disgrace there isn't a recording of this, his Symphony no.11 and other masterful works of his.
I just updated the video with a new description, in case you're interested.
@@SergioCánovasCM Thanks, great description.

Interesting choice of three classical composers: I love all of them and they do fit nicely with Diamond's aesthetic. Thank you.
This symphony has a wonderful harmony of orchestra, and it also incorporates an organ, and the sound has a great spread.
What an opulent, richly inventive display of musical mastery and generosity ! Sheer beauty and lyrical effusion from beginning to end.

Shades of the 3rd Symphony in the lyricism and energy.
I hope you will proposed the "adagio" of the symphony n° 11, recorded by the Seattle symphony. Thanks for all these discoveries !
Unfortunately I won't publish that work unless it gets fully recorded. I don't think that would be appropiate and wouldn't do the symphony justice.
@@SergioCánovasCM You are right. Maybe one day it will be possible to hear the premiere by Kurt Masur and the New York Philharmonic. Once again, thank you for all these symphonies
Many thanks Sergio.....Kudos for you and for the great David Diamond. Hope we can sometime hear the complete 11th!
Fantastic piece, thanks for posting. Wasnt expecting the long organ solos.
That is because Benaroyal hall has a really big organ.
Ah, great - been waiting for you to get round to this; thanks !
Lovely abstract graphics.
Super.
Muchas gracias Sergio! No tienes grabación de la Sifonía 11 ?
Lamento que no, por desgracia solo está grabado el segundo movimiento, el Adagio. Tengo mis reservas con grabaciones de piezas fragmentadas o cortadas.
me pasa igual...para escuchar una pieza fragmentada, prefiero no hacerlo
@@SergioCánovasCM Entiendo que Kurt Masur la interpretó completa en su premiere. Por mas que busco no he logrado encontrar si se grabó....sigamos buscando...!
0_i miss david diamond. & i never even DID read his BUK! -i remember when he died .. another Great American_gone

Do we know who the organist is?
Unfortunately I don't know
