Favourite Tone Poems

[teamsaint]

so we haven't had one of these threads for a few weeks......
just wondered what peoples fave tone poems are.
3 each ?

3 I like...
Dvorak . Water Goblin
Schoenberg. Verklarte Nacht.
And , for the sake of discussion, and also the fact that despite endless exposure it is still wonderful...
Tchaikovsky. Romeo and Juliet fantasy-overture.
(I expect someone to prove to me that it isn't a tone poem !)

Hoping the thread will give me a few wise ideas to add to my 68 page list of "Stuff To Buy" !!

[salymap]

Balakirev - Tamara

Strauss - Til Eulenspiegel

Dvorak - The Golden Spinning Wheel

Elgar: In the South

Sibelius: Swan of Tuonela (not to mention a fair few more of his)

Tchaikovsky: Francesca da Rimini (or shall I have Hamlet?)

Elgar Cockaigne

Holst Hammersmith

Rachmaninoff Isle of the Dead

[Bryn]

Sibelius: Pohjola's Daughter

Mahler: Symphonic Poem in Two Parts, 'Titan'

Janacek: Sinfonietta (which gets named as a symphonic poem in the Wikipedia article on Janacek).

[AjAjAjH]

Strauss: Death and Transfiguration.

Sibelius: Tapiola.

Suk: Praga.

[Tapiola]

Strauss: Death and Transfiguration.

Suk: Praga.

Wonderful selection.

Though perhaps I should choose another three:

Also Sprach Zarathustra

Les Preludes

Orpheus

[AmpH]

R. Strauss - Ein Heldenleben

G. Gershwin - An American in Paris

E. Elgar - In the South

[Serial_Apologist]

Vaughan Williams - In the Fen Country (1904)

Suk - Zrani (1917)

Bridge - Enter Spring (1927)

[Northender]

Any three by Sibelius. At the time of posting: The Bard, Pohjola's Daughter, and the last of the Lemminkainen Legends.

[Petrushka]

Strauss: Don Juan (first piece I ever heard at a live concert - RPO/Kempe)

Sibelius: En Saga

Strauss: Ein Heldenleben

Surely some selections here are not tone poems?

[gurnemanz]

Wagner - Siegfried Idyll
Elgar - In the South
Strauss - Metamorphosen
