It sounds, especially in the climax, a bit like Shostakovich, which makes me wonder if it's Weinberg? [Or Vainberg, as I keep thinking of him, from the Olympia records I collected decades ago.] But I don't recognize it. Wondering if it could be one of his symphonies, which have a lot of substantial movements.
(And no, I have not Shazamed yet.)

Ding, ding, ding - that was FAST! Weinberg it is - I absolutely love this guy.
Symphony No. 3, movement 1

I've just listened through to the symphony, and it was only in the third movement that I heard what I tend to think of as Weinberg's sound. The 3rd is overall so darn, well, cheerful! An interesting find.
Great that Chandos keeps releasing more of his music - I love him too (actually a bit more than Shostakovich, who I often admire more than I love, except for a few key-for-me works).

I only discovered him a week ago - can't even remember how, but on YouTube. His music blew me away - all of it. And I, too, like him a bit better than Shostakovich, who I love large. Some of the symphonies are mind-blowingly beautiful. Some are more like the Shostakovich of the war stuff - especially Weinberg's amazing war trilogy. Twenty-two symphonies and then the chamber symphonies, which are great.
I've bought it all up over the last week. I really like the Chandos series, and CPO has all the string quartets and a great disc of the tenth symphony and violin concerto. I prefer the Chandos series (which is ongoing) to the Naxos - those performances aren't bad and some of the symphonies are only on Naxos (Chandos will do them all eventually), but the flute concertos on Naxos pale in comparison to the Chandos versions. And I'm no fan of Chandos automatically, but these are all lovely performances in less washy sound than usual from that label. I'm quite obsessed and the music is completely addictive. I have a Weinberg on my back!

And here it is again - I love this thread. Here's a fun one by one of my all-time favorite composers.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/axcezpqsmofwe76/Return%20of%20the%20Mystery%20Track.mp3?dl=0
The composer is also my favorite (for film music). Won't spoil Mr. Kritzerland's fun so early by typing the composer name here so soon. I'll give others chances to guess. If you look @ my favorite composers inside my FSM profile, then you'll see his name listed first.

Indeed! Surprising.
Very nice though.

Richard Rodney Bennett's (and I didn't peak!) Partita for orchestra (1995) Now the question is, which version it? There are 3 on CD; Richard Hickox on Chandos, John Wilson on Chandos, and Nicholas Cleobury on BBC.

It's a piece called Celebration and yes, ding, ding, ding - Richard Rodney Bennett.
