oh I loved it! I've just listened to the first movement and loved the way it climbs to the end. I loved its rich harmonies and Americanness . . . yes definitely American (something to do with harmonics??) I loved the big drum irregular drumbeats at the beginning of the coda and the spaciousness of it and the attention to detail. The orchestration is sumptuous and generous and that passage where the trumpet suddenly plays crystal clear melody followed by a kind of fugal passage but it blends beautifully and always carried me with it. Wonderful! thank you!
