Johan Svendsen (1840-1911)
The Two Symphonies
Two Swedish Folk Tunes
Two Swedish Folk Tunes
The Gothemburg Symphony Orchestra
Neeme Järvi
If you are not familiar with the work of Svendsen it is not unlike Mendelssohn or Schumann or early Tchaikovsky. In fact, while listening to Svenden's 2nd Symphony I recalled Tchaikovsky's 1st at several points. Actually, the Norwegian composer lived from 1840 to 1911 and was close to Grieg, whose symphony sounds very much like Svendsen's. In fact, on hearing Svendsen's 1st Symphony, Grieg banished his. Svendsen's symphonies are traditional, four movement affairs and don't break any new ground. The music is full of beautiful melodies which are occasionally memorable, like the lovely work in the third movement of Symphony #2. The writing for woodwinds is particularly delightful.
