Atterberg, Kurt: Symphonies No. 1 & 4

1010

CDS 1010-2 Kurt Atterberg (1887-1974): Symphony No. 1; Symphony No. 4, "Sinfonia piccola'. Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra conducted by Stig Westerberg (No. 1); Norrköping Symphony Orchestra conducted by Sten Frykberg.

Can a composer write more contrasting symphonies than these? The First is a powerful stormy piece of music, with a second movement that is humble, sentimental and beautiful. The Fourth is more idyllic and delicate - and is here conducted by the legendary Sten Frykberg.
