This poem for Piano, Organ and Voices received its first modern performance 96 years after its premiere in Barcelona in 1911. This article tells the story of the rediscovery of this composition (which I think is very beautiful and certainly unusual in its combination of instruments and voices).
There is a recording available on Youtube with Douglas Riva as the soloist here and one of the Australian premiere with Carolina Estrada, which I like at least as much, here .

Alan Howe

Yes, very lovely indeed.

Translation: 'Song of the Stars'.

WOULD have been very lovely indeed had the chorus been at the required level... I gave up after a few minutes of choral massacre.

Which of the two recordings are you referring to?

Ebubu

Sorry, the 2nd (Australian) one.  I'll have an ear to the 1st link.
