Be advised the clip is overattenuated, so lower the volume at the site for best results, it is worth it.. I'll see if I can post my copy - it might be better.

I'm a fan of Khachaturian 2, but the only recording I've heard that does it justice -- that keeps the inner intensity without outer blustering -- is the one he made in Vienna.
The first movement of Alfvén's symphony 5 may be the strongest music he ever wrote. I believe it was written during WW II and for some years played as a stand-alone piece. Has anyone heard the recording Alfvén made of it in the late 1950s?

Janus Ciker is better known as Jan Cikker[1911-1990], a Slovak composer, who's '1945' Symphony I a long time ago posted. '1945' is his 3td symphony. The symphony was written in 1975. Or is there a real Janus Ciker?

No, this is Jan Cikker ... I went to post it in downloads then found it was already there, and I am sure it is the same LP.

I'm surprised no-one has mentioned Holmboe's Sinfonia Disintegrazzione, his response to the Nazi invasion of Denmark. Sadly, the only recording of the work is a complete mess, to the extent that in the scherzo the percussion section play a complete bar later than the rest of the orchestra.

Personally I would include Rubbra: Symphony No 4, with its inspiriting conclusion and certainly Hubert Clifford's 'Symphony 1940' which certainly related to the time of its conclusion and has a wonderfully defiant ending, in which Clifford (according to the booklet notes) defiantly shakes his fist at the heavens and at would-be oppressors (it was written in London during one of the first bombing raids of the Blitz). It can be found on Chandos, accompanied by the equally fine Symphony No 2 by Edgar Bainton (1939-1940).

A wonderful cd. The kind of release that used to get me leafing eagerly through the pages of Gramophone to the Chandos (new releases) ad!

What?! I've never heard of that work! Could you please point me to the recording of it?

… music is not only an `entertainment’, nor a mere luxury, but a necessity of the spiritual if not of the physical life, an opening of those magic casements through which we can catch a glimpse of that country where ultimate reality will be found. RVW, 1948

No, I do not think such jokes are good taste ::) Reminds me of similar "fake reviews" for Mahler's "Violin Concerto" and a Boulez recording of VW's Symphonies 4 and 6! Oh, I just realized I had reached two thousand! I guess I shouldn't be surprised ;D
