An all Australian offering with the Tasmanian SO performing the iconic "Penguin Ballet", the third movement in Nigel Westlake's Antarctica Suite - I prefer the Melbourne SO recording with Westlake conducting and Slava Gregoryan on guitar.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.Couldn't view this in my locale but looked it up myself and it may be the same (Kain/Tasmanian) though there's a 5 second timing difference? Pleasant enough. Was going to comment it sounded like film music until I noticed it is from a film. One of the youtube comments referenced the chromatic part ruining the piece. I like chromatic parts. The one in this reminded me of the opening of the Daphnis et Chloe Sunrise.

Westlake has done a bit of composing for film. He is the son of the clarinettist with the Sydney SO and was a clarinettist also but has been known more for his guitar work. His inspiration was Frank Zappa. He now conducts probably as much as he plays.
