Dag Wirén - Op.38 Symphony No.5 (1963-64)

[@12corners]

Enjoyed very much this spare and austere symphony - throughout on the edge of collapsing - it demonstrates a mastery of symphonic thought. Transparent and fulfilling...

The following year he wrote the music for Sweden's entry in the Eurovision Song Contest.

Conservative, straightforward, with periods of intense energy and calm repose leading to a melancholy conclusion, this is a work that maintains its' integrity and seriousness of purpose while being both accessible and enjoyable. Wiren's works are mostly unfamiliar to me, other than the String Serenade, but I intend to remedy that situation!

Truly a "rare classic piece!

[@Cesar_SM]

Could you please upload his 3rd symphony? Many thanks

[@johannbrandstatter7419]

Orchestra ? Conductor ? Not worth mentioning ??

[@stephenhall3515]

They probably didn't want to be associated with such derivative trash.

[@kuang-licheng402]

nice

[@johannbrandstatter7419]

You supply vital information as to the artists performing RAREly or NEVER ? Looks like never ! I hope you stopped uploading in 2015...

[@patrickteichmann999]

Obviously it's Dausgaard & Norrköping Symphony Orchestra since this is the only recording, and its length matches that of the CD. One brief Internet search would have sufficed. Rather than being grateful to the only person who uploaded this fascinating symphony, you insult them. Why??
