In recent years, I have been attracted to the symphonies of Havergal Brian, especially the late ones. I am also very fond of the music of the guzheng.

I find Wolf Pack's requiems to be a little depressing. :-[

LOL -- I don't find the Mozart depressing, and am working on the Klindworth transcriptions

I have come to appreciate Karl Jenkin's 'Armed Man,  mass for Peace' and have few of the piano transcriptions.  Full concerto linked below

Totally agree,PencilArt-- and I play the piano adaptation, which is quite nice but cannot compete with the orchestral one.

Interesting, it is not thought that Albonini actually composed this, but it is still listed everywhere as his.

That's right! Wasn't it Remo Giazotto?
