José Manuel Joly Braga Santos (Lisboa, 1924-1988)
Symphony No. 4, "To the Portuguese Musical Youth" (1950)
Played by the Orquestra Gulbenkian, conducted by Pedro Neves
Movements:
1. Lento (0:00)
2. Andante (13:32)

Images: scenes from Lisbon, around 1950. The last movement shows various scenes from 20th century Portuguese history that took place around today's Praça do Comércio in Lisbon.
I recorded this concert on my phone in glorious mono back in 2013, and although it shows I still consider this the best interpretation of the symphony I've heard sofar. It's a bit of a joke on my part.
