(Symphony No. 6)
Fernström, John
John Fernström was one of the most prolific composers of his generation and his music often contained exotic elements. He was somewhat overshadowed by the more radical music that dominated concert programmes in Sweden in the 1950s, but in recent times Fernström’s music has come to be appreciated more and more. In the broadly conceived sixth symphony Fernström makes imaginative use of a rich palette of orchestral colours. “A butterfly at twilight with gold-dust on its wings” was how the composer Ture Rangström described Fernström’s Flute Concertino. The work captures the mood of Carl Sandburg’s poem “New Moon”, which depicts a night ride in the Indian west. The Capricious Troubadour is a humorous bagatelle in which Fernström is in excellent spirits. This is No. 6 in the series Musica Sveciae Modern Classics. |
