David Diamond - Symphony #2
Seattle Symphony Orchestra, Gerard Schwarz. Label:Delos

I think that this symphony will remain my favourite DD work - it's hard to beat!

Appetite whetted by Anton's 'Happy birthday Mr Diamond' thread, I'm now exploring other DD works on Apple Music (a great way to explore repertoire at a tiny cost)

Currently listening to 'Concerto For String Quartet'. And Lovin' it!!

BeefO,I'm more familiar with the Quartets than the Symphonies.
No 3 on that album is a killer.

Same here. I'll get onto #3 at some point today - thanks for the steer, Rob

I haven't taken to Tower's music as yet, what I've heard so far seems a little superficial.

Any thoughts on some of the earlier American composers such as MacDowell, Paine, Chadwick, Cadman, Converse, Parker, Farwell and Foote?

Chadwick always come across as better than I would expect and John Knowles Paine's 1st Symphony of 1876, is IMO worthy to stand up against many European works of that period. Arthur Foote's chamber music is pretty competent and often highly attractive and Horatio Parker (Ives's teacher) was quite popular in the UK around the same time as Elgar.

Just having a listen to Chadwick's 4th SQ, and I'm pretty impressed, and well entertained.

Michael Hersch - Symphonies 1 & 2

Are they really American Classics, Beefy? Worth having taken to Bodrum instead of more DSCH quartets?
