Yes - sorry, Mr. JR; I certainly was happy to learn about Freidlin, & took the Poem, & the 3rd Symphony, but there are indeed other works (& I only go for orchestral, being too stupid to appreciate chamber/solo) on his Channel worth a look !
You have 1 convert, honest !
Thanks for the feedback CV.
I was concerned I might be promoting "crossover" music which is distasteful to some. There are a number of other orchestral works here.
While this composer is quite prolific, my preference is also orchestral with limited or wordless vocals/choral. Small ensembles and recitals are seldom on my menu.
I suspect it is because I'm not a professional musician...and I am aware that it is a "blind spot" for me as are operas, oratorios and most cantatas.
But I don't want to exclude the choice for others, so I include them when I think a composer has merit.
Sorry to get off subject, but Re cantatas, this one by VLobos is a notable exception and there is another notable one by Bartok, the title escapes me.
