Best Complete Symphonies You Could Purchase.......2007-02-25

Having heard the sixth symphony on a radio broadcast (albeit missing the second movement because of problems at the station), I decided to go out on a limb and buy the complete symphonies, being completely unfamiliar with Atterberg.

It was a decision I do not regret.

Atterberg's complete symphonies has to be the best CD purchase I have ever made, out of a collection of 500 some classical CDs. There's nothing revolutionary about Atterberg's music. He takes what has been done already, and does it better, to the extent that this in and of itself is the revolutionary component of the works. Sometimes, it can even be frustratingly simple, such as how he insists time and again to end a movement or work with a V, I. Yet the depth, the color, the masterful orchestration: Atterberg's music is worth a hear, whether you are a fan of the twentieth century serialism or Baroque period music. Especially listen to this music if you are attracted to the music of Sibelius, Howard Hanson, Hugo Alfven, or David Del Tredici.

When I buy a complete symphonies set, I am sometimes overwhelmed and do not know where to go with it. So hopefully this plan will help those who wish to listen:

A) Start with the sixth symphony. The melody, orchestration, and tempo are especially enjoyable. Atterberg composed this for a Franz Schubert contest and won. (Originally, the contest called for a completion of his unfinished symphony, but it was so controversial, that the idea was dropped.) Atterberg decided not to show at the awards banquet since he didn't want to applaud the victory of another composer. How suprised he was the next morning when he saw the newspaper headlines!

B) Then listen to the third. The first and third movements are gentle and have soaring, gorgeous moments, while the second is a loud storm, reminiscent of Britten's storm in Peter Grimes.

C) The second symphony is stylistically similar to the third, with the first and second movements containing triumphant and broad, yet gentle sections. The second movement is especially colorful, and is my favorits movement of all the symphonies. The last movement was written after a frustrating performance of his Suite No. 1 that went sour due to poor musicianship. Thus, it's sort of a loud and forceful, though not angry, response.

D) The first symphony sets the foundation for the second and third. This is one of his three four-movement symphonies. Thus, we're treated to a scherzo that is well-worth its insertion. The second movement resembles the slow, broad movements of Atterberg's other symphonies you have heard thus far.

At this point, you may wish to listen to the River piece, included as an extra work in the complete symphony set.

E) The eigth symphony is Atterberg's other four-movement work. Once again, a beautiful Scherzo, and a complimentary slow movement that is more exploratory and dismally curious in nature than previous slow movements. The first and fourth movements show a more rough side of Atterberg.

F) The fifth symphony, the "funeral," is written in a darker, more abysmal style with alightly more dissonance and conflict than what the listerner is used to hearing. The second movement, however, is characteristic of Atterberg's slow movements, except more mournful and longing. The forward-movement leading to the climax leaves the listener clinging to every chord progression and does not fail to deliver a fulfilling revelation at the end with a thematic call of the brass and shrilling, pulsating strings. The counterpoint amongst the strings is also gripping. The third movement recalls moments of conflict from the first movement and the serenity from the second, but ends with a heavy waltz, sort of like dancing in 3/4 time with Death himself, except he weighs 500 pounds.

G) The fourth symphony is a smaller work consisting of four movements. The highlight is the second movement, which is the slow movement; it's soft and introspective. The other three movements are loud and violent.

H) The seventh symphony, which is the Romantic, was where I started when I got the set. However, it was difficult listening at first. The first and third movements are loud and heavy on the brass, symbols, and drums/timpani. The second movement is typical slow-movement Atterberg.

I) The ninth symphony is different than the previous eight symphonies. It's more of a cantata of Norse mythology. The writing is somewhat peculiar for Atterberg. The work alternates between violence and stillness, all leading up to the final doomsday battle. The symphony employs several soloists and a chorus.

If you find that you have enjoyed this symphony set and want to hear more, the Piano Concerto and the Horn Concerto may be logical next steps. Also, try some of Atterberg's chamber pieces. He wrote a piano quintet that is an arrangement of the sixth symphony.

Also, if you haven't heard them yet, listen to Howard Hanson's second, third, and fourth symphonies; Melartin's third and fourth symphonies; Alfven's fourth symphony; and Del Tredici's In Memory of a Summer Day. The orchestration, style, and depth are compliments to Atterberg's works.

A NEW HORIZON FOR SYMPHONY LOVERS..........2007-01-19

Mahler, Strauss, Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninoff, Respighi, Sibelius, Vaughan-Williams, Mussorgsky... and let us not forget Atterberg.

If you're like me, you have a passion for diving into lesser known symphonic realms, because a familiarity with the standard orchestral repertoire has created a need for new horizons. Reading a few reviews of Atterberg symphonies was enough for me to trigger my "impulse buy" mechanism. When the CD's arrived, I told myself that I would do the whole symphony cycle in one day (5+ hours end to end) no matter what I thought. I failed because I was unable to restrain myself from listening to these symphonies again for a second, third or tenth time. The SECOND SYMPHONY is by far my favorite. The sweetness of Sibelius with Mahler style brass along side the passion of Rachmaninoff, take you on a exciting journey through the possibilities of Swedish music. The second movement starts with a beautifully soft adagio of intimacy and love that ends up evolving into a monumental cadencial moment for Horns, Trumpets, Trombones and Strings. In the final movement, we find a fiery orchestral movement reminiscent of a Franck or Dukas symphony, with an evolved form of the second movement theme returning to vanquish the flames with a magnificent maestoso. The passion level in Atterberg's symphonies rival those of Mahler (my most favorite composer).

Every symphony in the Box is worth a listen, most of them are worth at least 10 listens. The THRID and SIXTH SYMPHONIES were worth that much to me. The only thing negative that I can say, is that none of the music takes me in a direction I've never seen before, with an exception of The NINTH "Sinfonia Visionaria." It is a very innovative and progressive piece with a baritone, alto and full chorus.

Bravo to the four German symphony orchestras that make this set, Frankfurt's was probably the best. There is more than enough zeal and enthusiasm contained within these disks for everyone to enjoy.

Food for living!........2006-09-04

Not being a professional musician (an acomplished amateur, though, who, as a boy soprano was once conducted by Bernstein--harrumph!), I could not add significantly to the elegant reviews already posted. Suffice it to say, Atterberg's symphonies just make me glad to be human. I return to them regularly for spiritual uplift. Along with Bax and Vaughan Williams, they have become some of my very favorite things.

A brazen romantic.......2006-08-01

Today, the Swedish romantic composer Kurt Atterberg (1887-1974) is not widely known. His symphonies -- he composed nine -- are rarely performed. But during the first half of the last century, most of his symphonies were hailed with international praise and support. They were performed by such conductors as Herrmann Abendroth, Wilhelm Furtwängler, Arthur Nikish, Leopold Stokowski, Richard Strauss, Siegmund von Hausegger, and Thomas Beecham.

Atterberg's lifespan stretched into the second half of the twentieth century. But his compositional style remained firmly rooted in the musical expressions of the late romantic tradition, which flourished around the shift of the penultimate century, 1890-1910. As in the case of Arnold Bax, he was indeed a "brazen romantic." Thus his music is akin to that of Dvorak, Smetana, Bruckner, Mahler, Stenhammar, Elgar, Richard Strauss, Bax, Sibelius, and Vaughan-Williams, even if he had a style of his own. But he was reluctant to link it to early modernism and its atonal chromatism, as, e.g., Mahler, Richard Strauss, Vaughan-Williams and even Sibelius did. The musical world of atonal modernism was almost completely alien to him. His last, and very compelling symphony, called "Visionaria", was composed in 1956, and it has the form of an oratorio for mezzo, baritone, choir and orchestra, using texts from the Poetic Edda. Despite its late composition date, it shows just a few traces of atonal modernism, with twelve-tone rows in some of its melodies. It is basically a complex late romantic work, and, as such, perhaps comparable to the early Schoenberg's "Gurrelieder".

But don't let Atterberg's romantic conservatism prevent you from experiencing the astonishing beauty and power of his music. His symphonies are passionate, intense, very well composed, and often based on old Swedish folk tunes (this is especially the case with the eight symphony). The sound is thus very "Nordic," comparable to that of the early Sibelius (which, of course, was a greater composer than Atterberg - but he nonetheless recognized the quality of Atterberg's music). And in my view, among all his fine symphonies, the blazing first, the nostalgic and powerful second, the pastoral third, the dark and frantic fifth, the parodic sixth, and the enigmatic ninth are truly memorable and moving masterpieces that should belong to the standard repertoire of late romantic music (his second and fifth are my personal favorites).

Ari Rasilainen's Atterberg cycle is the first on disc. Raslilainen is a young Finnish conductor (b. 1959). It is perhaps not a surprise that a Finnish conductor supports an unfairly forgotten Swedish romantic composer. After all, if you love and understand Sibelius' early works, which I suppose most Finnish musicians do virtually by birth, you will probably appreciate Atterberg's music as well. Regardless or not if this holds in the present case, it is clear that Rasilainen is the best interpreter of Atterberg that we now have on record. Because this set is a reference set, in all aspects. First, Rasilainen's interpretations are first class -- he knows his Atterberg by heart. Second, without an established performing tradition behind the back, the German orchestras (Radio-Philharmonie Hannover des NDR, Radio-Sinfonie Frankfurt, SWR Radio-Sinfonieorchester Stuttgart, and NDR Radiophilharmonie) play with perfect confidence and brio. Third, a spacious and clear recording catches every note.

For a reasonable price, you have a splendid piece of almost unknown music in this set, beautiful and beautifully performed and recorded. It is thus an essential purchase for everyone interested in the aftermath of late romanticism in music during the twentieth century.

Strongly recommended!

The Complete Symphonic Oeuvre of a Swedish Romantic.......2005-03-07

This box set (5 CDs) is a compilation of performances issued separately previously. It comprises all nine symphonies of the Swedish romantic composer Kurt Atterberg (1887-1974; pronounced, approximately, 'Atterberry') in sterling performances. And it's all at budget price.

I will not review the individual performances here as there have already been some very good reviews posted here at Amazon for each of the separate releases. [Simply do a search here at Amazon using the keyword 'Atterberg' and links to all of the symphonies will come up.] I would also suggest you give a listen to the sound samples at various of the symphonies to get an idea of what they are like. My own favorites are Nos. 7 & 8, but others might want to start with No. 3 (that third movement is extraordinarily lovely and well-played by Rasilainen and his orchestra.] All of them have been reviewed by Swedish music maven David Hollingsworth. I've reviewed the 7th and 8th symphonies and Thomas Bertonneau has reviewed No. 9. No need to repeat all that here. We all agree that these are excellent performances of symphonies that are in the post-Straussian Romantic style. If you like that sort of music I can pretty much guarantee you'll like these.

Out of the Flinty North.......2004-02-16

Kurt Atterberg (1887 - 1974) belongs to the school of what Nicolas Slonimsky calls (in Baker's Biographical Dictionary of Composers and Musicians) "Swedish Hyper-Romanticism." Slightly younger than the ground-breaking national romantic composers Hugo Alfvén (1872 - 1962) and Vilhelm Peterson-Berger (1867 - 1942), Atterberg followed the lead of those elder artists by incorporating the modal outlines of Swedish folksong - and its implied harmonies - into his concert music. The descriptive titles of many of Atterberg's works tell the story: "West Coast Pictures" (Symphony No. 3), "A Värmland Rhapsody," and "Ballade and Passacaglia." Like Alfvén, Atterberg felt the allure of the Stockholm Archipelago - but, as a Gothenburger, he also responded to the natural beauty of Sweden's western littoral. (Sweden has a west coast! - it is not exclusively a Baltic nation.) towards the end of his compositional career, in the aftermath of World War Two, Atterberg returned to the sources of Scandinavian culture, the prophetic verses of the Elder Edda, to write his choral-orchestral Ninth Symphony, the "Sinfonia Visionaria" (1953). The idea of setting an apocalyptic text in an oratorio-symphony had already occurred to one Swedish composer, Hilding Rosenberg, whose "Revelation of Saint John" (1944), also listed as his Symphony No. 4, struck many a nerve in its time. Rosenberg's "Revelation," which has had two or three recordings, is full of blaring trumpets in the Hindemith manner and bold expostulations from the chorus - a real aural spectacle. Atterberg had in mind to do it differently from Rosenberg: "Sinfonia Visionaria" avoids the near-hysteria of the other artist's mode in favor of a quieter, rather more mystical contemplation of man's inhumanity to man in an age of world wars and atomic weapons. The Symphony plays continuously, mainly in moderate and slow tempi, but corresponds to a number of distinct sections. The CPO disc tracks these sections separately. The Edda-verses in question - sometimes called "The Sybil's Prophecy" - tell of the destruction of the world in a paroxysm of deadly winter ("Fimbulvinter"), the unleashing of monsters against gods and men ("World-Serpent" and "Fenris-Wolf") , and a final tempest of fire and smoke ("Ragnarök"). Richard Wagner drew on these same visions in "Die Gotterdämmerung," the fourth installment of his "Ring." The medieval-music ensemble Sequentia also covers some of this material in their CD entitled "Edda." If the result, in Atterberg's work, were more cantata than symphony, the main sections of a four-part symphonic composition are nevertheless discernible. "Sinfonia Visionaria" does not reveal its art entirely on a first listening, but this is a sign of its subtle character: re-visitation discloses the score's felicities. The symphonic poem "Älven" (Swedish for "The River") is a more outgoing composition than the symphony, a Swedish variant of Smetana's "Moldau" or Schumann's "Rhenish" Symphony. "The River" generates a good deal of fun and nicely balances the austerity of the cantata-symphony. Ari Rasilainen plays these two scores, as he has played his way through his entire Atterberg cycle for CPO, with commitment and élan. Recommended. And not only for aficionados of Scandinavian symphonism.

The Symphony of Power, Vision, Reality - The Poem of Beauty.......2003-08-22

Kurt Atterberg's Ninth Symphony "Sinfornia Visionaria" (1955-1956) have a pretty curious performance history. After its premiere in Helsinki in 1957, the work was shelved until another performance, which commenced in 1962. Thirteen years passed for yet another performance of the work to take place (on an anniversary of the composer's demise). As Michael Kube explains in his authoritative essay, the work creates the impression of a reflection of the political climate during the 1950s (the Cold War being the primary source of fear as well as political and social instabilities for much of the global community). The selection of the text derives from the Old Norse apocalyptic poem entitled "Voluspa" (otherwise called "The Face of the Prophetess"). While not a clear cut as, say, Dvorak's Requiem, as far as structure is concerned, the piece can be divided into two parts. The first part (tracks 1-4) deals with the genesis of Midgard (the Earth- as told by Heid), the world which at first had no sea, no arching earth, no heaven above, no sand (when Ymir was alive). But, when the Sons of Bur emerged, the land was lifted, the sun shone, and plants and herbs grew. The universe expanded and yet everything remains peaceful, until the first human murder (track five - which begins the second part). Battles ensued and Odin, presumably in pursuit of those who killed Gullveig, died in one of those battles. Mankind left Midgard as the sun blackens and the land sank into the sea.

Immediately one may think of Wagner's "Der Ring des Nibelungen" in the message that it brings (namely that greed will destroy the human race). Atterberg's piece is not as hedonistic as Orff's Carmina Burana; although the first part of the former is as celebratory of Mother Earth as the Primo Vere section in Orff's, but with greater arresting subtlety. But I wonder whether the composer was familiar with Dvorak's masterpiece. For example, Atterberg's text (in track eight) "Garm howls dangerously at Gnupa's cave. Shattering the chains, the wolf frees himself. Coiling serpent wants to swallow the world, it spews forth venom and fire's heat" have striking similarities with the Dies Irae movement of Dvorak's Requiem, not only in the wording, but also in the handling of the material: the feeling of damnation that's poignant. His use of a twelve-tone row when the text speaks of Evil affecting the world is especially compelling.

Notwithstanding these references, the piece is wholly striking in its own terms. As usual with Sweden's most gifted melodist, the orchestration is as masterly as expected; it is vivid yet more menancing as the piece goes along. I cannot even ignore the gripping subtlety of the first part: its very picturesque in the coming of Earth-but with a feeling of detachment and prophesy that has anticipation of what's coming (and the contemplative ending holds the prophesy true as that subtlety returns). But the text and his handling of it shows ingenuity and boldness given the date of the composition (and even for the global political climate that remained unstable and violent as we speak, the work is quite more appropriate). I confess, I was expecting the Symphony to be about an hour long (at forty minutes, the Symphony can sound perfunctory especially since the Earth did not end because of the will of mankind to initiate peace and good will, usually due to the minority who saw the world at a different angle and convince the greater minority-majority to do the same).

The Symphonic Poem "Alven-The River" is quite an effective score. Written in 1929, it conveys Atterberg's love for Sweden, which by itself evokes Smetana's "Ma Vlast." Even the grandiose beginning brings to mind Smetana's masterpiece ('Vltava' to be exact), yet the ensuing development suggest the composer's familiarity with Hugo Alfven's Fourth Symphony "Fran Havsbandet" (of 1919-which created quite a stir after its premiere that same year). Atterberg's tone poem is as skillfully written and the 'The Great Lake' movement in particular holds magic and wonder (as does the 'Waterfall'). I was actually amused when I was listening to 'The harbour'- it has this Nielsenian pictoresque humor to it. So, while Smetana's masterpiece can be evoked at various points, Atterberg's poem holds up well on its own.

Ari Rasilainen's pioneering venture in Atterberg's music deserves every bit of everlasting praise and respect. And the CPO enterprising project continues to reveal what we're missing. Not only is Rasilainen's account fresh, but it is with authority and a real understanding of the composer's works. I cannot find a single fault in his revelatory performance of the "Sinfornia Visionaria." It's narrative in character and Rasilainen's shaping and approach shows powerful yet moving restraints and hair-raising menace throughout. His views of "Alven" likewise shows vision and the NDR Radio Philharmonic (as with the NDR Choir and the Prague Chamber Choir in the Symphony) respond with full artistry and verve. The same shall be said of soloists Satu Vihavainen & Gabriel Suovanen, who sang with such narrative relishment.

Broadway singing voices.......2005-12-17

yes it is expensive for 45 minutes of CD, but yes it is worth it. the men and women singers all have Broadway quality voices, sort of like trans siberian orchestra (or chess) singers. the men singers are not the ABBA boys for the most part (as far as i can tell), but very good quality singers who sound like from Broadway plays. and the lady singers are of that same quality. and the most "pop" songs from Duvemala are on here. p.s. it is a live performance with a full orchestra, WISH THERE WAS A DVD OF THE PERFORMANCE.

Abba tunes with the fullness of orchestra and '90's texture.......1999-07-31

What a delight to hear this reminder of the very best of ABBA's catchiest tunes and slick production, only now with the full backing of orchestra and the texture of the '90's. Only disappointment is the absence of lyrics on the CD leaflet. I would pay to get hold of the lyrics for "Du Maste Finnas"!
