Tubin Symphony no.4 movement 4

A performance by the MusicaNova Orchestra conducted by Warren Cohen of the Symphony no.4 "Sinfonia lirico" by Eduard Tubin at Tempe Center for the Arts on January 4 2009 at the Tempe Center for the Arts.

Tubin was the most important Estonian composer of the 20th century; his music was little known outside of Estonia and Sweden until the advocacy of Neeme Järvi and the recordings of his works on BIS brought attention to his music. The 4th is probably his most accessible Symphony.

MusicaNova Orchestra has as its mission the performance of unjustly neglected music. Find out more at www.MusicaNovaaz.org. and the MusicaNova blog www.musicanovamusings.org

Finally, some Tubin on youtube. I have in fact, heard the symphony No 3 played live in the UK some years ago. One of the great 20th century symphonies.

Very powerful, the upper strings in unison with the main theme. Love this symphony. D Alexandr D'Maddalena

Some difficult high string playing doesn't come off as well as other performances I have heard here in thie 4th movement.

Passages from Tubin's "Kratt" ballet suite are also noteworthy. Estonian folk music inspirations are very evident. Rhythm and tempo, reminiscent of Stravinsky.

Finally, Tubin's splendid Fourth Symphony. I would LOVE to see and upload of Symphony #1, and #3 which I have not yet heard. I like all Tubin's symphonies. Thanks so much.
