I am Russian and have lived more than half of my life in Sweden, soon 27 years. Hugo Alvfén is the Swedish greatest composer. Dalarna region, Silja lake area are very beautiful. It is own special spirit there.
Un autor exceptional, cu opere exceptionale! Un rafinament si un fin gust al exprimarii, o uimitoare sensibilitate in scriere, care te cutremura apasandu te in adancul sufletului… Gratie pentru Drumes! Datorita lui ma aflu aici, si nu regret nimic. Excellent!
Hugo Alfven levde och bodde i det vackra samhället Leksand vid den vackra sjön Siljan i Dalarna i Sverige. Inte långt från där jag nu bor. Han gjorde mycket gott för musikkulturen här. Lite stolt är jag nog. 😊
U Pravoslavlju ne postoji lepše i savršenije Opelo od Mokranjčevog u fis-molu koje je napisao sa 32 godine. Bravo za hor, solistu i dirigenta. In der Orthodoxie dies ist das schönste Requiem aller Zeiten. Der Mokranjac war 32 wenn er das schrieb. Bravo für Chor, Solist und Dirigenten. Nell'Ortodossia questo è il Requiem più bello di tutti i tempi. Mokranjac aveva 32 anni quando lo scrisse. Bravo per coro, solista e direttore dell coro This is the most beautiful and most perfect Requiem in the Orthodox Church ever. Mokranjac wrote it when he was 32. Bravo for choir, soloist and conductor.
I listened to this album, and the Porgy and Bess soundtrack album every day for 4+ months when I was home sick with mono when I was 8 years old. Gershwin is my heart. ❤️
Genius orchestration as usual - very few composers can achieve these types of effects: Debussy, Stravinsky, Berg - not many others. Britten achieved even greater heights in his last 2 operas: Owen Wingrave and Death in Venice.
It is amazing ! Music, for the Boccerini, seems like a game, His style is at once alert, masterful and elegant and for the Haydna, music, like work (power to make the effort enjoyablevo). "If God wanted to speak to men, he would use Haydn's music; and, if he wanted to hear music, he would have that of Boccherini played".
I'm not even Polish, but this piece has held a very special place for me since first hearing it some 40 years ago, especially with its incomparable orchestration of Mazurek Dąbrowskiego at its conclusion. There's an extensive discussion of that national anthem at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poland_Is_Not_Yet_Lost
