Review: The Strikingly Bold Music of Einar Englund
One of the great 20th century symphonists, Finnish composer Einar Englund's works have been very well surveyed by Ondine and Naxos, and if you love first-class contemporary orchestral music somewhat along the lines of Bartók and Shostakovich, then you owe it to yourself to hear Englund. Musical Excerpts: Naxos 8.553758 (Symphonies Nos. 2 and 4; Piano Concerto No, 1) Ondine: ODE 961-2 (The Great Wall of China--Incidental Music)
