I received the new Naxos disc yesterday and can concur that the Symphony is a splendid work with claims to be the finest 20th century Italian symphony. Goodness knows what the Japanese made of it in 1940; it cannot have been what they were wanting or expecting! It is a troubled and often rather grim work. Is this the best performance we could get? I am not quite sure of that but it may well be the only one we shall have for a long time (unless Chandos and Noseda go for it?). It is absolutely astonishingly that we have had to wait for well over half a century to hear it in proper sound!
