Symphonies 1 & 2

Deutsche Staatsphilharmonie Rheinland-Pfalz,
Ari Rasilainen

CPO’s series featuring major Swedish composers of the first half of the twentieth century now makes its way to Natanael Berg (1879-1957), a composer known for his lushly sweeping orchestral style.

All Berg’s five symphonies have programmatic titles. The Second is entitled ‘The Seasons’; and the First was inspired by the sinking of the Titanic in 1912.
