"Niklas Willén och symfonikerna tar vara på de dramatiska effekterna utan att sockra alltför mycket"
(Norrköpings Tidningar)

"Inspelningen rekommenderas"
(Världen Idag)

- In his native Sweden Hugo Alfvén's music ranks as the most significant after that of Berwald. The music on this disc consists of two suites drawn from films that Alfvén scored during the 1930s and 1940s.

- Both Suites draw on folk-tunes to evoke the countryside with a mix of bucolic devices and sombre pastoral melodies. Although the films were not well received, Alfvén's music was widely commended.

- In Elégie, Alfvén pays tribute to fellow countryman and composer Emil Sjögren (1853-1918). This work anticipates his own Fourth Symphony (Naxos 8.557284).

- This is the second symphonic Alfvén offering from the Norrköping Symphony Orchestra following their issue of the composer's fifth symphony in February 2007.
