Review title: More of the Same from Atterberg...Meaning some Engaging Music
Product review: The longish reviews from 2002, 2003 and 2006 sum up just about everything that can reasonably be said about this release. The two symphonies here were written over thirty years after Atterberg's first effort in the form, and the idiom remains about the same, though the level of sophistication might be a tad bit higher. And that's not a criticism: This is all excellent music -- looking backward, in the view of some perhaps, but excellent nonetheless as far as I'm concerned. The entire run of Atterberg's symphonies is perhaps the best from a lesser known 20th Century composer -- and well worth the investment of time. This disc in CPO's integral cycle is, like all the others, highly recommended.
