Secrets from Sweden
Atterberg (best known for his sculptural symphonies) and Rangstrom (composer/writer in all genres, but a true champion of chamber music) are since long perhaps the best kept secrets of Skandinavian (Swedish) music.CPO brought the two men together on this surprising cd.Two seldom played string quartets of Atterberg and the only one of Rangstrom are performed by the Stenhammar String Quartet,four robust playing musicians on a sometimes pretty bumpy ride with always a safe arrival at the end.
By the way: do we know this remarkable ensemble? Yes - last years they performed the complete quartets of Stenhammar. Two (acclaimed) volumes are in the shop already, I can't wait for number three. But look (and hear!): here we have a more than satisfiing ,,intermezzo''.
