Wilhelm Stenhammar: Symphony No. 1 in F (1902-03)
- hace 8 años
Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra conducted by/Orquesta Sinfónica de Gotemburgo dirigida por Neeme Järvi.
I. Tempo molto tranquillo – Allegro (0:00)
II. Andante con moto (17:23)
III. Allegro amabile (28:07)
IV. Allegro non troppo, ma con fuoco – Tranquillo (37:55)
Wilhelm Stenhammar (1871-1927) was a romantic Swedish composer. As many other Nordic composers, he studied first at home and moved later to Germany to hone his skills. His music shows a dramatic shift from an early Teutonic period into a Norse one at the second half of his relatively short life. From his first period comes his first symphony; a work of colossal proportion that pays homage to Wagner and Bruckner. When Stenhammar became later dissatisfied with the German music, he decided to withdraw the work from his opus list. This was its first modern recording.
Wilhelm Stenhammar (1871-1927) fue un compositor romántico sueco. Como muchos otros compositores nórdicos, estudió primero en casa para marchar posteriormente a Alemania a mejorar sus habilidades. Su música muestra un giro dramático de un periodo germánico hacia uno nórdico en la segunda mitad de su relativamente corta vida. De su primer periodo nos llega su primera sinfonía; una obra de proporciones colosales que rinde homenaje a Wagner y Bruckner. Cuando Stenhammar se desengañó con la música alemana, decidió retirar la obra de su lista. Esta es su primera grabación moderna.
