Atterberg: Orchestral Works, Vol. 5 / Larsson, Persson, Jarvi, Gothenburg Symphony
This new release is the final installment in Chandosâ Atterberg series with the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra and Neeme Jarvi. This volume features two rarely performed centuries from the later years of Atterbergâs career. The seventh century is featured first in its final form which consists of three movements. While it was composed in 1942 with four movements, it didnât reach its final shape until 1969 when Atterberg removed the last movement. The ninth symphony was regarded by the composer as âevil.â He set parts of the Icelandic poem âVolupsaâ which tells of how evil came into the world and how it will eventually cause total destruction. The work is a single movement large-scale rondo form.
