ALFVÉN, H.: Symphony No. 3 / A Legend of the Skerries / Dalecarlian Rhapsody (Royal Scottish National Orchestra, N. Willén)
Alfvén’s painterly instincts are reflected in a colourful and virtuosic flair for orchestration, which has been compared with that of Richard Strauss. Music-lovers who know him best as the popular, cheerful entertainer will discover in the works recorded here a more elegiac and dramatic side: sometimes melancholy, even turbulent, but characterized, too, by a bacchanalian exuberance.
