Symphony No.3 in C major - Joly Braga Santos

Exquisite gorgeous music.....the Lento excels.....Santos clearly took holidays in Italy and France and, while there, studied orchestration with Respighi and Berlioz. Thanks.....and BRAVO from Acapulco!

One of my favorites now!

Pleasant and enjoyable. Thx

Eye-opening! Obrigado!

Thank you a bunch for this one. I've now listened to it three times from this upload, then bought it for myself on recording and listened to it entirely twice more, and parts of it more times than that over the last two weeks. I LOVE this work, it's now one of my favourite symphonies!

I'm listening to all symphonies of Joly Braga Santos. This is the first one that I find convincing. The first and the second symphonies not so much.

Second movement (Lento) has a very cinematic feel to it... like something from a John Barry score of a Bond movie, or a score for a paranormal mystery movie. Quite nice to listen to.

UM LINDO SONHO MARAVILHOSO, E COMO SE ESTIVESSE A VER UM BOM FILM IMAGINANDO TODAS AS ACOES DESDE O PRINCIPIO ATE AO FIM ! ❤

I THINK PORTUGAL IS THE ONLY COUNYRY WITH SO MANY CLASSICAL COMPOSERS SINCE EVER, I GUESS THEY HAVE LARGELY BEEN COPIED ! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I do think that Portugal is the only country with SO MANY CLASSICAL COMPOSERS, I GUESS THEY KNEW EACH OTHERS AND CONTRIBUTED all together TO PERFORM IN THIS FIELD !
