POOT, M.: Symphony No. 6 / Pygmalion (Moscow Symphony, Devreese)

Among the most distinguished Belgian composers of the twentieth century, Marcel Poot wrote seven symphonies, No. 6 in 1978, in three broadly classical movements. The ballet-score for Pygmalion treats the traditional story of Greek mythology, allowing Pygmalion’s ideal creation, Galatea, to turn out no better than any other woman in this misogynist’s world.
