Kurt Atterberg's "Orchestral Works, Vol. 5" is a captivating journey through the symphonic genius of the Swedish composer. This album, released on 1 juni 2016 under the Chandos label, features two of Atterberg's most remarkable symphonies: the Symphony No. 7, Op. 45, "Sinfonia romantica," and the Symphony No. 9, Op. 54, "Sinfonia visionaria." The Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra, conducted by the esteemed Neeme Järvi, brings these works to life with a performance that is both powerful and nuanced.

The work is a testament to Atterberg's ability to blend orchestral and vocal elements into a cohesive and compelling whole.
