About this product
Many interwar Norwegian composers tried to create a new national music by combining elements of authentic folk music with new techniques. Eivind Groven was considered one of the most innovative composers in this quest, integrating the structure of folk dances from his rural upbringing into familiar formal principles. Both symphonies make use of techniques of so-called 'progressive transformation', which led fellow composer Arne Nordheim to declare 'While others made instrumentations of folk tunes, Groven created sounds, for example in his [two] symphonies which, in my opinion, are quite unique.' Eivind Groven's symphonies have been recorded before, though this is the first time they have appeared together on a single album. The expressive eloquence and approachability of both of these symphonies means that such relative neglect is deeply unfair. Peter Szilvay is one of the most sought-after of Norwegian conductors, his career developing quickly after his acclaimed final diploma exam with the Norwegian radio orchestra and his award as 'Conductor of the Year' in Oslo in 1999. He has conducted most of the leading Norwegian orchestras and with the Norwegian Opera and ballet, his repertoire stretching from Beethoven to the late Romantics and as an enthusiastic ambassador for contemporary composers, having premiered over 160 pieces.

This is the first recording with Stavanger Symphony Orchestra both for the conductor and for Challenge Classics. More than ever through this new and exciting collaboration de Vriend gives a thoroughly original account of the first two symphonies. Just like the French critic Jean Charles Hoffele puts it, de Vriend is always 'striking'.

Along with Suchon and Cikker, Alexander Moyzes was one of the leading Slovak composers of his generation. His compositional style was inspired by the folk music and beautiful landscapes of his native land, but also took account of contemporary trends in European music after the First World War. These early symphonies, infused with Moyzes' masterful orchestration and control of counterpoint, signify a new period in 20th century Slovak music. This album is a reissue of a previous from 2000 that was part of the Marco Polo complete Moyzes symphonic cycle. Fanfare wrote of the original InchA [ ] no collection of 20th century symphony can do without. Bring on the remaining 10!Inch ClassicsToday. Com wrote InchMoyzes' music is engaging, well crafted, and beautifully orchestrated- qualities clearly understood and successfully conveyed by Ladislav Slovak and his Slovak Radio Symphony Orchestra.
