Another fine release from this week on Qobuz.
Quite a few from Belgium and the Netherlands this week I see.
I had not listened a lot to this composer before, so it's good to have all his symphonies to compare.
I'm going to listen again.
Interesting music.
The Belgian composer, Marcel Poot, was one of the most striking musical figures of his time, with a spicy compositional style that exemplified his zest for life. His cycle of seven symphonies, the earliest of which show the influence of Ravel, Stravinsky and jazz, reveal a clear preference for Classical balance and non-programmatic form. Predominantly tonal, the symphonies are notable for their rhythmic energy, colourful orchestration and lyricism. Symphonies Nos. 1 and 4–7 are first recordings. © Naxos
