Music by 20th-century composers.
Kurt Atterberg II.
Today’s episode of The Last Century is dedicated to Swedish composer Kurt Atterberg. His work isn’t performed very much outside of Sweden. Luckily, there is a small revival going on, but, for now, only on CD. On 21 January, we listened to his 3rd and 4th Symphony; today, we’ll listen to four pieces: the 6th Symphony, 3 Nocturnes for orchestra, the Värmlandsrapsodie, and finally Prelude and Fugue for orchestra.
