Those who shall not be sleeping at 11pm ART (4am CET) may want to listen to the Symphony in A (1946) by Floro Ugarte (1884-1975), on Radio Nacional Clásica:

The Orquesta Sinfónica Nacional shall be conducted by Jorge Fontenla.
Since I often have trouble loading programs from that website, if others feel like recording and uploading it here, please feel welcome to do so! According to Mike Herman's discography, there has been no commercial recording of this work so far, although it is regularly mentioned in surveys of Argentinian classical music.

We'd have to be persuaded that this work falls within UC's revised remit; but persuade away...

the Spanish Wikipedia article suggests that whether or not it is Romantic, it will probably be accessible, which is not (erm... ok, maybe it is... Liszt's B minor sonata's reception being a case in point... but that's another topic) the same thing...

Is it just me, or does Peter Lorre spring into mind whenever the name Ugarte pops up?  ;D

There's lovely piano piece called Preludio Romántico by Ugarte on YouTube here:

Well, I have listened to part of the piece and it definitely sounds much more like Romantic-era music than post-WWII... However, this may be a subjective opinion  8)
