In recent weeks, I discovered four composers of late romantic vintage: Paul Le Flem, Jef Maes, Arthur Meulmans, and Henri Rabaud. I've been listening to one orchestral disc of each of these composers and am impressed up to this point. The works are very easy to absorb and contain some fine melodies. Also, there's an impressionistic element to their music which I enjoy. Sorry to present them as 'the four musketeers', but the discs arrived on the same day, and I haven't really sorted out their individual pedigree. Concerning listening time, I probably end up dividing it equally between the so-called major and minor composers. It's equal opportunity for all worthy entrants. Don Satz [log in to unmask]
