Kolektion: Orchestral WorksSubkolektion: Orchester
Bernard Sweer's music is candid in style. It is a combination of elements relating to 19th century Dutch folk-song and Wagner stylistic characteristics from the middel creatice period. Once the composer had found his own style, he kept to it; this was in about 1890, the time of this symphony, to my fatherland. He would not allow his work to be affected by the late-romantic and impressionistic influences. |

Kolektion: Early RomanticsSubkolektion: Orchester
Schnyder 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. |

Dark drama infuses Dityramb. Strindberg was also a source of inspiration in Mäster Olof, written by his personal friend Tor Aulin. Partly stormy, partly slow and full of romantic moods, written with great skill. |

Kolektion: World Premiere RecordingSubkolektion: Orchester
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. |

Subkolektion: Romantic Music
Languages of Booklet Text: English, French, German
Sterling breaking new grounds! First CD from French part of Switzerland. More composers than Honegger made a mark in Europan music history. Maurices music is refined in late romantic and sometimes impressionistic style. Many pieces on the disc give a lasting impression of an extremely gifted and dynamic personality with all knowledge in orchestral writing. Grieg seems to have been a source of inspiration in the "Pécheur" and "Francesca". |

Kolektion: World Premiere RecordingSubkolektion: Orchester
At last a CD only devoted to this remarkable and highly original composer. He may have started as a romantic but he became very much more daring after the two first symphonies. Indeed, we are entering a most complex and monumental structure with references also to folklore. |

A true Brucknerian whose last symphony shows extraordinary skill in orchestral writing. Also Mahler is not far away, particularely in the colourful scherzo. |

Subkolektion: Orchester
Here 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.

Kolektion: World Premiere RecordingSubkolektion: Orchester
A 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. |

Here is another pioneer. The great symphonic poem "Breaking waves" points toward impressionism. Much of her music is influenced by Swedish folk music -but sometimes very daring in harmony. |
