00:05 I. Adagio
11:20 II. Adagio, lento
Göteborg Symphony Orchestra conducted by Neeme Järvi
Eduard Tubin (1905-1982) was an Estonian composer and conductor, his country's most prolific and arguably greatest symphonist. For more on Tubin, see my score video of his eleventh symphony: youtube.com/watch?v=l-vYcU8buKo
Tubin's two-movement ninth symphony, subtitled "Sinfonia semplice" ("simple symphony"), was written in 1969. While perhaps "simple" in its clarity compared to the symphonies of Tubin's middle period, it is quite a substantial work - coherent and motivically driven, as is typical of the composer, and splendidly orchestrated throughout.
