I'm surprised that no one has mentioned what a wonderful performance this is.

A qquite classical but firmly wriitten symphony, with a good sense for orchestration. Even living in France, Cherubibni cannot deny his Italian origin: the themes sound Italian.

And! Piero Bellugi is a well known master conductor!!

Thank you for the wonderful recording.
Do you by any chance have the "hymn to spring" by Cherubini?

P>S> Westminster Abbey looks nothing like that from Pentonville road!

I meant the "name" of the painter.
