Product Description

From Amazon.co.uk

Don't worry if most of these composers are unfamiliar, this is an essential recital of Swedish songs by one of the greatest Lieder singers of modern times, caught in her vocal prime. It's a bit like going to a fantastic concert except that you don't have to worry about the sweet-wrapper rustlers, the snorers or the mobile phones that tend to dog live music-making. Here Anne Sofie von Otter and her willing accomplice, Bengt Forsberg, take you on a tantalising voyage of discovery--from the Grieg-like songs of Emil Sjögren to the explorations of Ture Rangström, this will have you switching from track to track trying to pick favourites. Even the briefest songs conjure a world of their own, heavy with emotion--Wilhelm Stenhammar's "Jutta Comes to the Volkungs" or Rangström's "The Farewell", or the simple charm of Wilhelm Peterson-Berger's "Aspaker's Polka" or Hugo Alfvén's haunting "The Forest is Asleep". And the list goes on. Take one at a time or gorge upon the entire 70-plus minutes at one sitting: you're guaranteed to come back hungry for more. --Harriet Smith

5.0 out of 5 stars A feeling of discovery, Sep 22 2000
By Timothy F. Ortlieb (USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The songs on this wonderful Swedish anthology may not be familiar to most listeners but they occupy an idiom not so dissimilar to the world of Grieg. (Otter and Forsberg's Grieg recital from a few years earlier is also indispensible.). The nostalgia-tinged melancholy (or is it wistful joy?) of Wilhelm Peterson-Berger's folk-inspired songs, for example, convey a hint of Grieg's art yet are distinctively Swedish. There are nine selections by Peterson-Berger, out of 31 total, and they all exemplify this composer in full melodic flower. The other composers offer something closer to what we think of as art songs: somewhat rarefied, reserved, melodically rich and often evocative. The piano accompaniments are always first rate. This treasury provides a rich and varied 74-minute overview of Swedish song.

If the quality of the Swedish literature as a whole is half as good as what's presented here, let's hope that this is only an introduction from Otter and Forsberg, who would seem to have this repertoire to themselves although one could not hope for more understanding interpreters. After all, they are Swedish! All of imagination of their earlier Grieg interpretations is present here as well. There is all the necessary depth of characterization without affected artsiness.

If that's not enough, this disc also won the coveted Gramophone Award.
