The two works receiving their first recordings here reveal a major late-Romantic voice, downstream from Tchaikovsky, a student of Taneyev, contemporary of Rachmaninov, and alert to the discoveries of Stravinsky and Prokofiev. The Symphonie-Poème occupies a vast canvas and requires a correspondingly huge orchestra, generating a monumental sense of scale from essentially balletic material. The lighter Fantaisie-Concertofor double bass and orchestra moves from tangy dissonance via a tuneful slow movement to a perky, folk-inspired finale.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"206","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":50739338510632,"sku":"506011344676","price":20.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0933\/3833\/7576\/files\/4140728-2901478.jpg?v=1763990428","url":"https:\/\/waterloorecords.com\/products\/hartmann-kuchar-orch-music-vol-2-cd-506011344676","provider":"Waterloo Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
