| Kurt Atterberg's First Symphony proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that there's more to Scandinavian music than Sibelius and Grieg. Although music lovers--and record collectors in particular--have been aware of this for some time, it's still worth pointing out because in terms of quality this music can withstand comparison with anything of its period (1910). A big, confidently Romantic piece in four exuberant movements, the First Symphony displays all of Atterberg's stylistic hallmarks to excellent effect: sweeping lyrical tunes, luscious orchestration, and frequent, dramatic climaxes capped by explosions of percussion. Best of all, the work never lapses for a moment into that lazy self-caricature that typifies his less inspired work (such as the Piano Concerto, for example). Neither, for that matter, does the little Fourth Symphony, a charming, folk music-inspired light work that stands in relation to its more ambitious brethren rather like Shostakovich's similarly small-scaled Ninth. Both works receive passionate, wholly convincing advocacy from Ari Rasilainen and the Frankfurt orchestra, while the recording gives the music the glamour it demands. Yummy. --David Hurwitz, ClassicsToday.com | |||||
