Title: Re: Winter Post by: regriba on January 17, 2015, 02:16:58 pm A few suggestions off the hip:
Tchaikovsky: Symphony no 1 "Winter Daydreams" Prokofiev: "Troika" from "Lieutenant Kijé" Larsson: A Winter's Tale I don't know if it counts (I suppose it's winter all year round in the Antarctic) but my favourite evocation of a frozen scene is the "Landscape" movement from Vaughan Williams' Sinfonia Antartica Title: Re: Winter Post by: Jolly Roger on February 08, 2015, 11:34:26 pm A few suggestions off the hip: These are perfect selections!!I would add Tapiola (brrrr) and En Saga and by SibeliusTchaikovsky: Symphony no 1 "Winter Daydreams" Prokofiev: "Troika" from "Lieutenant Kijé" Larsson: A Winter's Tale I don't know if it counts (I suppose it's winter all year round in the Antarctic) but my favourite evocation of a frozen scene is the "Landscape" movement from Vaughan Williams' Sinfonia Antartica Title: Re: Winter Post by: guest224 on February 09, 2015, 10:06:44 am Sviridov's Snow Storm

OF Title: Re: Winter Post by: Jolly Roger on February 11, 2015, 06:53:27 am Probably off the subject a bit, but one of the most chilling pieces is Gösta Nystroem's Arctic Ocean (Ishavet or La mer arctique), symphonic poem after an unfinished ballet
