It is impossible to recognise the grumbling old man Hallén in his music. Contemporaries thought of him as impossible. But the truth is probably that he was uncompromising in his musical ideals. This is a truly stunning Christmas Oratorio for everybody fed up with Christmas music. Of course never recorded before!! |

Hallén was a true Wagnerian -but most of his works are or a rather more intimate scale. Gustaf Wasa may have been a king of war or unrest in Sweden but the suite that comes from a play is more subdued and peaceful. The other pieces are also rather intimate -and Hallén's orchestration is very skillful and personal. The opening piece, Romanze, betrays a debt to Hallén's teacher Reinecke. |
