This used to be the theme of I believe a CBS TV westerns (cowboy ) afternoon session and it caught my fancy as a really great masterpiece by d'Indy. A rich blend of the piano. It can get to you as melodies well developed. Imagine a good western out of old film stock.
Hopefully we will eventually get the first movement of this reading - in the meantime we have other complete performances on YouTube.
Influence on Hollywood? I am familiar with Robert Russell Bennett's Down to the Sea in Ships, a five movement suite wherein the second movement directly reminds me of D'Indy. I managed to tell this to RRB and he was moderately pleased, stating that he generally liked D'Indy. Of course, his studies with Nadia Boulanger would have exposed him to this music.
I love this piece! It is truly great, and superbly crafted. I seem to hear what Hollywood would later copy so often at certain points. Did those Hollywood composers (the better among them) admire the work of D'Indy? Listening to this, I get a definite "Celtic" feel (for lack of a better description) and I also am reminded of the time I have spent in the mountains myself.
I am coming back to this piece after not hearing for years. It was a favorite from my childhood. Romantic goodness!
D'indy was often able to produce such wonderful works as this artistic tone poem about the France countr y side he so loved and portrayed so beautifully, Thanks for you and TY
A partir del minuto 4: 39 se inicia un trozo de gran belleza lirica que luego es retomado de distintas maneras ,como si fuese el "leiv motif" que reiteran la orquesta y el piano y se constituyen en la exaltacion del canto a la montaña.
Bella y extraña sinfonia poco interpretada y tan desconocida como su autor.Gracias por subirla.
who is the pianist?

everything went perfectly, until the sudden, mood-destroying Eb notes at the end :\

This is wonderful, but what happened to the first part of the Symphony?
