Kurt Atterberg - Symphony No. 7, Op. 45

[@julianfwong]

Atterberg is one of my favourite late-romantic composers.... His slow movements never disappoints me, creates the calmness just like a cinematic visualized version of so.

[@gerardbegni2806]

In the outcome of Atterberg,the tone of this symphony is rather heroic . It is very well written.

It's about time I got to know the Atterberg symphonies. Much thanks goes to CPO for not deleting this!

The solemnity of this performance is splendid

[@perhagenas1546]

Kurt Atterbergs dramatic and intense touch is unsurpassed if you ask me. The slow movements are equal in some sense incredible suggestive, passing to the other side music.

Bellísima.He escuchado varias sinfonías y no hay una que no me guste.Maravillosas .Me falta escuchar la novena.

This music has a modern feel to it, somewhat like listening to an epic movie score. I really enjoyed the tonal composition and many interwoven themes.

Отлично. Услада для ушей

[@MegaCirse]

Kurt Atterberg construit ses architectures sonores comme un mouvement de masses sonores qui se heurtent à des vitesses fulgurantes et sous tellement d’angles différents, délimités comme des zones de couleurs irisés sur une carte, tout en mouvements gracieux !

The first movement theme has rythmic similarities from the third movement of his Dollar symphony.

I liked the earlier symphonies 1 - 4 better. This one is OK to my listening ears, but worth revisiting as far as I am concerned.

[@laertesdd]

I wholeheartedly concur, though I'd include the fifth and sixth symphonies which are really beautiful. The symphonies seven, eight and nine always seemed somehow... lackluster to me. At least until now. Haven't listened to them for a long time. Will revisit them this week.

I can't really listen to this without Vittorioso, I fear.

[@rtbuck52]

I love this symphony. Up until the cloying “Irish Jig” third movement. It’s off-putting and a collapse of Atterberg’s usually remarkable musical construction and invention.

[@ronaldbwoodall2628]

Somewhat cinematic but conservative, this Symphony has a circus-like air about it; it lacks good developments, and its finale seems trite and too repetitive. It reminded me of Khatchaturian at 12:53 forward; of Vaughan Williams at 18:34; of Borodin at 19:23, although nowhere exhibiting the originality, or the reason for the highest-regarded status, of any of these three composers.

[@earthandairandrain]

It's very true, Atterberg's music seems to borrow liberally from them (and variously from Sibelius, Mahler, Tchaikovsky, Rimsky-Korsakov...) but doesn't fully hold together. Certain pieces by those composers are among my favorite orchestral works, hence probably why I enjoy Atterberg, at his best moments.

[@PsyykkisJoona]

Not every composer is like Beethoven or Mahler, this is not some new information. Just enjoy the music and be greatful that Kurt Atterberg wasn't like the other post ww2 composers or is that what you would call "originality"...
