Dupont released an album of improvisations last year. My local classical station played a track a few days ago so that's how I was made aware of him.

I've been wanting to get the symphonies for awhile now. Thanks for reminding me. Love this piece. I have the quartets and love them.Originally Posted by dt2
Frank Martin is another composer I've been digging lately'
Count me as a recent fan of Holmboe!
Another new discovery for me, is Leslie Bassett. Pretty much everything I've heard of his on YT is good, if not great.
And if there were a god, I think it very unlikely that he would have such an uneasy vanity as to be offended by those who doubt His existence - Russell
I haven't heard a lot of Bassett, but I did perform a piece of his (not quite as good as Ralph Sauer does here!)
I posted this piece seven months ago but here it is again.i like it that much.YMMV.

Frank Martin should be more well known, he was fantastic. I love the Chandos disc Les Quatre Elements (The Four Elements)/In Terra Pax.
Especially for people with a very short attention-span.
Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday Gustav Mahler
Happy Birthday to you...
(Orchestrated by Mahler and is 3.75 hours long)
How big is the choir?
The record for longest symphony belongs to "geriatric prodigy," Havergal Brian.

Sure, but it wasn't his birthday.

Listened to the album this piece is on today, and this piece, in particular, twice today. Axel Borup-Jorgensen's Marin.
Cool. Danish dude?
Yurp.

Just discovered this piece in my Ravel box. The hybrid piano is called a lutheal.

Would this be considered a drum-solo, or a percussion-piece?
I've been listening to Lili Boulanger, who was Nadia's little sister. Nadia was a famous composer/teacher who taught Copland, Elliott Carter, Glass, Virgil Thompson, and more in Paris. Lili died at 24 but won the Prix de Rome, whereas Ravel only placed third trying five times. She was apparently a prodigy and would have been a monster composer near the level of Faure, Debussy, Ravel, etc...or so they say based on her limited but extraordinary accomplishments. Check her pieces out, they display a beautiful "French" quality with unique harmonies and melodies.
Lili Boulanger Works For Choir And Orchestra on the Timpani label is the CD I have. It's good music. It's a shame she died so young.
