Lindberg may protest post-modern post-Romanticism, and may knowingly reference Strauss’s ironic prankster Till Eulenspiegel; but although some of his musical thinking feels dreamlike, free-associative, more often the effect isn’t really ‘post’ at all – more Central European late Romanticism with a 21st-century accent. And none the worse for that, especially in these sumptuous, sweeping performances.
