Einar Englund: Symphony No.7 (1988)

[@bowerdw]

Another in what now appears to be virtually and unending collection of unheralded orchestral works made available to listeners via the uploads of interested parties via KZbin. I could once say that is a . . . work by . . . . Now I am privileged to hear so many interesting works I can't do that anymore. If I revisit what I have heard, I miss the ones I have not heard. So I have decided to keep exploring the stuff I haven't heard keeping tab on the ones I have heard by tagging them in some way.

Doug Bower -- Oh no....you MUST re-visit! A painting you can sort of take in all at once...and then analyze in situ. But music? Repeated hearings are necessary to finally discern the structure...and love the melodies. The last 4 minutes of Bruckner's 4th eluded me for years....and then suddenly....I MUST re-hear every week!

Symphonie parfaite pour lire les formes subjectives des nuages et suivre d'un œil attendri les rainures des tiges des arbres; apprécier l'écriture complexe des branches imbriquées, goûter les couleurs de la décomposition de la lumière en gouttelettes d'eau dans un jardin, ressentir fortement le sol humide de la forêt ancestrale pour percevoir les traces des animaux du passé profond 🙂

This is a strong, beautiful final Symphony by Englund, with delightfully intricate orchestration, and an obvious nod to Shostakovich in the third movement at 17:33 (his 9th Symphony).

I think this piece will require of me repeated listening to take it in. After a first exposure, my impression is that every moment of this work has been meticulously crafted. It seems that changing one note, or adding or removing anything would detract from it. I look forward to hearing it again. Englund may be a composer of genius who has things to say that are hard to grasp immediately.

fantastiskt!!!, Englund,svenska

[@PaulVinonaama]

Varför skriver do "svenska"? (Englund var finländsk.)

[@Enlimdr]

Sounds like a hockey game you two...this is Brilliant as are all ( underplayed ) Suomi Englund. I'm Canadian so just give a puck about the music itself :) Grand stuff !

[@steveegallo3384]

Enlimdr -- Am in total agreement: There's nothing wrong with them that a little Prozac and a polo-mallet wouldn't cure. Cheers from Acapulco!
