3	Hugo Alfvén: Synnøve of Solbakken; A Country Tale; Elégie (2007) more music like this performed by Norrköping Symphony Orchestra, Niklas Willen (conductor) composed by Hugo Alfvén add to wishlist 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 ... see all copies from £6.48! new only from £6.48!
4	Alfvén: The Prodigal Son Suite/Symphony No. 2 (2001) more music like this performed by National Symphony Orchestra of Ireland, Niklas Willen (conductor) composed by Hugo Alfvén add to wishlist see all copies from £6.85! new only from £6.85!

Stephensen (cor anglais), Richard Talkowsky (cello), Sigrun Edvaldsdottir (violin), Iceland Symphony Orchestra, Niklas Willen (conductor) composed by Hugo Alfvén add to wishlist 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 ... see all copies from £8.53! new only from £8.53!
7	Björling, Vol. 2 (1993) more music like this performed by Harry Ebert (piano), Hjordis Schymberg (soprano), Jussi Björling (tenor), Nils Grevillius (conductor) composed by Carl Leopold Sjöberg, Carl Millöcker, Charles Gounod, Ejnar Eklof, Franz Schubert, Friedrich von Flotow, Georges Bizet, Giacomo Puccini, Giuseppe Verdi, Hugo Alfvén, Jacques Offenbach, Jean Sibelius, Johann Strauss II, Ludwig van Beethoven, Paolo Tosti add to wishlist see all copies from £4.83! new only from £6.77!

Christian Sinding's perennial favorite, The Rustle of Spring, opens the program with effervescent energy. Edvard Grieg is the best represented composer here, ... see all copies from £3.07! new only from £6.48!
13	Alfvén: Symphony No. 5; Andante religioso (2007) more music like this performed by Norrköping Symphony Orchestra, Niklas Willen (conductor) composed by Hugo Alfvén add to wishlist 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 ... see all copies from £3.93! new only from £6.12!
14	Scandinavian Moods (1992) more music like this performed by Dubravka Tomsic (piano), Marian Lapsansky (piano), Sergiu Schwartz (violin) composed by Christian Sinding, Edvard Grieg, Hugo Alfvén, Jean Sibelius add to wishlist see all copies from £3.11! new only from £3.11!
