George Onslow : Symphonie n°2 en ré mineur op.42 par l'Orchestre philharmonique de Radio France

[@martinhuckle6069]

What a great work,why is this work and others not played in concert instead of the old regulars which are played to death,there are hundreds of work like this from lesser known composers which I am sure the concert going public would like to hear,I have my favourites which when heard always give me great pleasure time after time.bravo George Onslow,I hope his symphonies are played more in the future.

I am not an expert at all, but my idea on this is that the music business (including orchestras, performers, conductors, symphony boards, and the list goes on and on) is just that - a business. In the final analysis they must think about what will attract as many patrons to purchase tickets, as many corporate sponsors to underwrite concerts, as many businesses as possible to place ads in the programs. That sounds simple, but funding (or lack thereof) drives almost every decision we make about what to do and what not to do . Remember, however, that even though much repertoire seems to be repetitive, for some concert goers it is their first experience with a Mozart symphony. Playing the “old standards” will attract new people who have never gone to a symphony concert. Indeed some people will only to be able to attend a symphony concert in person only once or twice in their life.

Great work. Great performance. Great composer. This is one composer less known who should have more prestigious. From piano works to majestic symphonies, Onslow amuse us!!!

Thanks for a fine and dedicated performance! I really wanted to like this, but there are so many missed opportunities and "non sequetors" in this music. He so often is onto something perhaps poinient, and then can't find the inspiration or is not willing to put in the hard work to capitalize. He is, however,a bit on a "missing link."

4:07 must've inspired Poulenc?

incroyable à quel point on ressent fortemen l'influence de Beethoven

his string quartets are better than beethoven's early and mid quartets

Même époque; écoutez la symphonie de Georges Bizet né en 1838, neuf ans après la disparition de Beethoven, c'est étonnant.
