Tournemire's lusciously Romantic Third Symphony is so gorgeous that listeners would be shocked to learn that it was, until a couple of years ago, totally unknown. The music, as the title indicates, evokes the composer's experience of a trip to Russia, and particularly the impression made on him by the music of the Orthodox Church and the city of Moscow's magnificent bells. Tournemire even quotes some of the same themes found in the finale of Rachmaninoff's second suite for two pianos--a "Russian Easter" piece. The Eighth Symphony is a tribute by the composer to his late wife, and the title refers more to the certainty of an afterlife than to some sort of fatalistic or apocalyptic vision. Both works deserve the widest currency, and the Third Symphony in particular will knock your socks off. --David Hurwitz
