Alberic Magnard - Symphony No. 4
Thomas Sanderling/Malmö Symphony Orchestra (BIS)

Magnard is pretty much a new composer to me. Being a French music aficionado, I figured I'd better check him out. This is a lovely, rich late-Romantic symphony that combines the best of Bruckner and Mahler into one. Highly recommended!

Edit: This is now my favorite symphony by a French composer that I have heard. Just unreasonably gorgeous, especially the last few minutes of the finale.

Magnard's 4th is my favorite French symphony ever as well (even above Saint-Saëns' 3rd). I was truly impressed by that robust and noble performance, a real ear-opening rendition.

Arnold Schönberg: String Quartet No. 4, Op. 37
LaSalle Quartet

Catching up with the string quartet listening thread. I really like this quartet; it's my second favorite of Schönberg's five string quartets, which are all wonderful.

Sibelius' fifth Symphony

He was right to revise it!!!!

 

[bharbeke]

All of these videos came from the Grand Karajan Review thread, and they are all fantastic. The Symphony No. 8 is well done in the 1970's and 1980's version by Karajan.

Mahler, Symphony No. 4

Indeed! The original version seems to wander around more and it's much less cohesive.
