Hugo Alfvén: Synnřve of Solbakken; A Country Tale; Elégie (2007) more music like this

performed by Norrköping Symphony Orchestra, Niklas Willen (conductor)
composed by Hugo Alfvén

Swedish composer Hugo Alfvén's entire international reputation relies on one piece, the Midsommarvaka (or Swedish Rhapsody No. 1, Op. 19), which he composed in 1903. Although Alfvén lived until 1960 and remained prolific until his death, it seems that little else he composed travels well outside of Sweden; his proponents often point to Alfvén's ...

Alfvén: Symphony No. 4 "From the Outermost Skerries"

performed by Arndis Halla (soprano), Johann Valdimarsson (tenor), Kristján Th. Stephensen (cor anglais), Richard Talkowsky (cello), Sigrun Edvaldsdottir (violin), Iceland Symphony Orchestra, Niklas Willen (conductor)
composed by Hugo Alfvén

Outside of Sweden, Hugo Alfvén's most popular works are his colorful Swedish Rhapsodies and a few other pieces of light music. His symphonies, however, have lagged behind, presumably because they are much more serious in tone, old-fashioned, and less outwardly appealing. More likely, as anyone who has heard them knows, they have not achieved wide ...

Scandinavian Festival

Scandinavian Festival (1991) more music like this

performed by Czecho-Slovak State Philharmonic Orchestra (Kosice), Richard Edlinger (conductor)
composed by Christian Sinding, Edvard Grieg, Hugo Alfvén, Jean Sibelius, Johan Svendsen

Scandinavian Festival provides a smorgasbord of romantic pieces by Norwegian, Finnish, and Swedish composers replete with nationalist sentiment, ingenuous emotion, and broadly brushed colors. Christian Sinding's perennial favorite, The Rustle of Spring, opens the program with effervescent energy. Edvard Grieg is the best represented composer here, ...

Alfvén: Symphony No. 5; Andante religioso (2007) more music like this

performed by Norrköping Symphony Orchestra, Niklas Willen (conductor)
composed by Hugo Alfvén

Like most of his music, Hugo Alfvén's Symphony No. 5 in A minor, Op 54 (1942-1953) is only gradually becoming familiar outside Sweden, which is a shame since this inventive work compares reasonably well with other Scandinavian symphonies and deserves a much wider audience. Written in a lush, highly dramatic style, but suffused with a brooding ...

For those into one-stop shopping and who want a disc of all the most-often-used classical works in movies and TV commercials, then this double-disc package is a decent choice. It falls short of being a good choice for a number of reasons. The performances are good, although the sound quality varies from track to track since they are culled from ...

composed by Hugo Alfvén

Performed irregularly outside Sweden and seldom recorded, let alone released in a comprehensive package, Hugo Alfvén's symphonies and rhapsodies are well served in this enjoyable five-disc set from BIS; through the exemplary performances by Neeme Järvi and the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra, these overlooked orchestral masterworks may at ...
