Symphony No. 7 in C major, Op. 87
01. I. Andante pesante
02. II. Andante sostenuto
03. III. Allegro apassionato
04. IV. Andante tranquillo – Vivace
A landmark recording in being the first ever complete survey of Weingartner’s symphonies.
Symphony No. 7 calls for a full orchestra, reinforced brass, choir, four vocal soloists and solo organ – all skilfully blended together to create an impressive work and one which ought to be better known in the symphonic repertoire.
