Another (extended) Tubin moment

Eduard Tubin's Sixth Symphony, with Neeme Järvi conducting the Swedish Radio Symphony. Apropos of nothing, the opening and closing of the second movement served as theme music for my college-radio show, "Music Since 1900." Tubin also composed one of the most viscerally thrilling endings in the symphonic literature, the timpani-driven coda of his Fifth Symphony. Järvi conducted a tremendous New York Philharmonic performance of the Fifth in 1995.
