for the more aggressive members here, this is a composer IMHO who deserves a hearing..he has some notoriety insome hispanic circles.
Give the sinfonias a spin, any feedback is appreciated, positive or otherwise.

According to Youtube, he wrote 8 symphonies sofar.
When I bought, some years ago, a cd from the Emec label (E-032) with Darias works, the now called symphonies were named 'Obra sinfónica', not symphonies. Nos. 1, 2, 6 and 7 are on that disc.

Victor Pablo conducted three orchestras here: Royal Philharmonic, Symph Orch of Tenerife snd Orq Sinf de Galicia

Not ground breaking music, but for a listen now and then it is worth your time

I'm liking it though I'm only on Number 1.  Not particularly aggressive but serious.  Reminds me of a concise and sparser version of the symphonies of Penderecki.

I'm often confused between symphonies and sinfonicas or sinfonias, esp with Latins..perhaps in general, sinfonia tend to be to be sparsely orchestrated are usually lighter and shorter..but  there are always exceptions..
BTW-I had problems coupling the orchestras with each specific piece so I omitted them when unsure.

You're right, it's not always clear. But the Sinfonia in spanish is the same as symphony in english. Some times latin composers also use symphonie or symphony.  On the other hand non-latin composers use some times "sinfonia" as a lighter, or smaller?, form of a symphony.

In this however the works on the cd are named "Obra sinfónica". In english "Symphonic Piece"
I wrote the composer a message asking him how he sees it. When I get an anwer I let you know.

Thanks...I'd like to know what he was thinking..I guess a comparison of the duration of the pieces may yield a clue or two..
