CD Reviews

Alfvén and Järvi at their best

08/08/1999

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Alfven's music is evocative of the Swedish landscape, and in particular the Stockholm archipelago, where he gained much of his inspiration. These highlights of the Mountain King are amongst the best bits. This is the first recording of the completed 5th Symphony, but I still prefer the spacious first movement - you can almost hear the sea. The real gem on this CD is the Elegy - a tender lament for the death of King Gustav Adolf II in 1632. This piece introduced me to the wealth of unjustly neglected Swedish music - check out Stenhammar and Atterberg as well. The Elegy gives me a spine tingle every time. [Geoff Bushell]"
