Thanks having share this beautifull symphony. Never heard form this componist before. Specially the second movement amazed with its mysterious accents.

this reminds me of the second movement of Aram khachaturians Violin Concerto like at 2:24........

Raklin gives a good reading, though not the best, of this gargantuan work. One of the great 20th century symphonies that sadly is hardly ever performed; due to its length & size. I have to wonder also why he chose the tuba over the contra in this recording. In my opinion, the contra definitely has a much more sinister effect . Thank you for posting this!

i think the tuba adds flair and dynamics the contra basson doesnt have on its on the emphasis the tuba gives is nicer in my opinion

why is a tuba doubeling the contra-bassoon in the begining??it's nicer without a tuba
