About

Despite being at odds with his fellow human beings for most of his life, and regarded by many as merely eccentric, Danish composer Rued Langgaard (18931952) believed that his time would come, and so it has proved. His First Symphony reveals the teenage composer celebrating his love of beauty and harmony in the most hedonistic terms. This recording sees the symphony return to its first home, performed by the Berliner Philharmoniker, the orchestra who premiered the work in 1913 and the first to recognize it as a masterpiece.

January 2023

It’s a fervently committed reading, ablaze with radiant conviction and surging passions.

January 2023

The Berlin players offer stamina and assurance, vital in those multilayered accompaniments and sudden jump-cuts.

December 2022

Oramo and the Berliners' account of the opening movement 'Surf and glimpses of sun', has a Straussian weight and amplitude, the quieter, quasi-Brucknerian passages feelingly done... Oramo and his Berliners deliver a superb finale.

22nd January 2023

The conductor and the Berlin Phil revel in the clamour and sweep of the Dane’s high-Romantic score, its Wagnerian and Straussian grandeur igniting spectacularly in this live recording from last year...it offers near constant climax and, in this persuasive performance, proves as enthralling as it is exhausting.
