Morton Gould : Symphonette No. 4 (Latin American Symphonette) for orchestra (1941)

[@ccsitaround]

One of Gould's best, wonderful!

Fantastic, vibrant music in a wondrous performance from Abravanel and the Utah SO!! The sound quality is just about perfect thanks to the Vanguard engineering. The only other pieces by Gould with which I am really familiar are "Fall River Legend" and "Spirituals" so this is a delightful surprise. Each dance is gorgeously realised, especially the Tango....

Evening Max, you might want to give this one a try. It includes the Pavanne, Gould's biggest 'hit'...kzbin.info/www/bejne/qquTgmudj9qGp9k

Rodders , Morning! Oddly enough, I've just tried that recommendation a wee while before reading your reply! Good stuff isn't it?

Gould also wrote the soundtrack for The Windjammer, which is one of my favorites.

Conjures up images for me of an imaginary 1940s exotically-located movie with Xavier Cugat and his Orchestra, Carmen Miranda, Don Ameche and the like......only this is better!!

This too lived up to its name.
