Gottfried von Einem: Symphonische Szenen op.22 (1956)

[@ronaldbwoodall2628]

This is a totally engaging, unpretentious work. The strong first movement boasts a remarkable passage beginning at 6:59, building impressively and climaxing a minute later; the elegant second movement begins with a gorgeous melody, includes a Beethovinian passage at 14:56, and ends with a lovely flute interlude; the whole final movement is an exhilarating romp, whipping up into a festive frenzy at 23:22. It's a work of varied moods and sounds, all accomplished with sparing material utilized with inspiration.
