I. Allegro pathetico 00:00-07:35 II. Adagio 07:35-15:50 III. Allegro molto15:50-20:35 Performed by Sören Hermansson (horn) and the Umeå Sinfonietta conducted by Edvard Tjivzjel.
Magnificent piece. The piano/strings complement for the solo horn seems to me to be a masterstroke by Atterberg. At times, I felt as if I was listening to the score for a turgidly romantic, melodramatic movie of the highest quality, especially during the first movement.
Some of the best horn concerts! Seems strange that it's that little known despite his superb late romantic appeal..played it in conservatory and liked it a lot.
A wonderful work for Horn and it ought to be played much more often. I have heard the player Sören Hermansson live, and I think that he must be one of swedens leading hornplayer but now workin I think in Canada.
