Complete Syphonies, Swedish Rhapsodies
Christina Hogman, soprano
Claes-Hakan Ahnsjo, tenor
Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra
Neeme Järvi, conductor
Digital Recording: 1988-92
Swedish composer Hugo Alfvén (1872-1960) has written some quite agreeable orchestral music. Especially his five symphonies are regarded to be great and important works. This set of 5 CD’s offers a large part of Alfvén’s colourful oeuvre for orchestra.
Also included are the three Swedish Rhapsodies and several other orchestral works such as ‘Elegy for Gustav II Adolf’ and the Suite from 'The mountain King’. Alfvén’s style is ‘modern’ romantic. Most of his work evokes the Swedish landscape and atmosphere which somehow is not surprising since he was also a painter.
Of course the Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra under Neeme Järvi gives truly Swedish performances. When first issued these recordings were met with great acclaim.

正直、交響曲はあまり特徴がなくはっきりいって全曲通して聴くのはつらい。 4番とスウェーデン狂詩曲などの小品はよかったが、4番はスヴェトラーノフの盤のほうがダイナミックでよかった。0 people agree with this review

アルヴェーン、まだまだマイナーな存在でしょう。「真夏の徹夜祭」がまあ多少は知られているくらいで、交響曲に至ってはまるで聴くチャンスなし。確かに保守的だったり通俗的だったりもあって、音楽史の上では特別重要な位置を占めることはないのでしょうけれど、それがなんだ!実に美しく、また楽しい音楽を書いた人です!音楽が字の如く「音の楽しみ」であるなら、アルヴェーンはまさしく音楽の喜びをもたらしてくれます。交響曲ならやはり2番と4番が出色かな。おなじみの「真夏の徹夜祭」もいいですな。演奏はきっとスタンダード的で文句なし。ストレートに楽しませてくれます。録音はちょっと「かすんでいる」感じもしますが、別に不満はなし。値段も含めてよいアルバム。何か新しいレパートリーをお探しの方には大いにお薦めしましょう。決して「冒険」ではないですよ。なお、交響曲第4番にはスヴェトラーノフの名演もあり。1 people agree with this review

蓮華人 | 千葉県 | 不明 | 28/November/2009
ベルワルドは受け入れられるかどうかを別にすれば、まあ「独創性」があったのでしょう。しかしアルヴェーンは出来がよすぎるのか、本意でもなさそうな半音階的な処理などで「捻じ曲げる」節があり、亜流という評価について異論を挟むつもりはない。ヤルヴィにも再評価を求めるような意気込みが感じれない。まあ大まかに、聴き所をしっかり抑えた演奏。ただ、そうしたことを踏まえようが、全く知らぬ存ぜぬであろうが、素直に楽しめる。0 people agree with this review
