Volkmar Andreae - Symphonie No. 4 Es-Dur Romantische - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Symphony No. 4 - Symphony No. 4 [COMPACT DISCS] date 02/27/2008

Seigmen's Total album was a landmark for all of Norwegian rock. Produced by the legendary Sylvia Massy, the album is a sonic masterpiece - with a super clear and rock steady rhythm section, highlighting the signature sounds of bass player Kim Ljung and drummer Noralf Ronthi - inspired by Massy's previous work on Tool's Undertow album. Adding Marius Roth and Sverre Økshoff doing dueling delay guitars, with Alex Møklebust's haunting vocals on top, this is a very special piece of Norwegian melancholy alternative rock. Long out of print, and never issued on vinyl, this album is a must-have for fans of mid 90's alternative rock, or Norwegian rock in general.1. Colosseum2. Ohm3. In Limbo4. Döderlein5. Sort Tulipan6.

Our third album with symphonies by Louis Glass features his Fourth Symphony - a large-scale work with a playing time of about one hour. It calls for triple woodwinds as well as six horns and the strongest wind section that Glass used in his symphonies. And the composer also works here with tighter thematic structures than in the three earlier symphonies. The piece immediately attracted attention and was not only performed repeatedly in Copenhagen from 1912 to 1933, but also abroad. After the composer's death, it was performed three more times; since then, however, it has probably not been performed in public. But with this large-scale symphony, Louis Glass had consolidated his position as one of the most important Danish symphonic composers of his time.
