Subcollection: OrchestreHere is a remarkable Bruckner pupil. It is obvious from his broad writing inspired by nature. But Halm´s writing is more intimate and there are not so many great crescendos. The music is great for meditation and stillness.

Subcollection: OrchestreCan 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. |

Subcollection: ChoirRevelation Cantata, Op. 31; Cantata for the 450th anniversary of Uppsala University, Op. 45
The Revelation Cantata was a big favourite of the composer. A very emotional piece of music, indeed, while the Uppsala Cantata was more in a festive scale. Great music, just the same! |

Early Romantics
Subcollection: OrchestreSchnyder von Wartensee was an early romantic, and a good friend of Beethoven. His music is typical early romantic - perhaps more like Haydn and Schubert than like Beethoven.
Some rather weird twists in the symphony makes one believe that there was perhaps stronger stuff than milk in that "suppe". Lovely, engaging performance typical of Fifield and the Württembergische Philharmonie. |

British Composer Series
Stephen Plews is a musical polymath.. A classically trained pianist, he is a jazz composer and player as well as composing in the ‘classical’ world. He is also a champion of new music, having set up his own studio and record label ASC Records though he has now returned to performance and composition.
This CD has examples of Plews in out-and-out jazz form but more of the music is contemporary classical with jazz inflections of various kinds. If you are not a lover of jazz, don’t be put off. That also applies to those normally allergic to keyboards, which includes me. Their use here as serious instruments contributing to the impact of the music is entirely convincing and I had no problem with them at all. |

Excerpts from one of the truly great Swedish operas of its time, written in great Wagnerian style. The excerpts are from the huge monologues for mezzo. Few mezzos today, apart from Ingrid Tobiasson could keep the listener in such a tight grip!! |

Subcollection: OrchestreA remarkable man. He was in insurance business, but always had a longing for becoming a full time composer. His violin concerto is very much has a Mendelsohnian flaviour with a stunningly beautiful second movement. They symphony is less individual but well crafted. |
