About
Petersen's Third Symphony in C sharp minor received its premiere in 1934 under the baton of Karl Friderich in Darmstadt; a further performance followed on September 24, 1935, under Hermann Abendroth in Berlin. The present recording is the first to have been made of this work. Petersen wrote a short factual commentary on his Third Symphony for the September 1935 issue of the Zeitschrift für Musik. Only in a few places does the text depart from a dispassionate sequence of events and indicate the "content" of the music, with such terms as "tragic climax", "breakdown", "tender transfiguration".

Wilhelm Petersen (1890-1957) was one of those poor souls snubbed for writing tonal music in an era when critical ears were largely turned elsewhere. This world premiere recording of his Third Symphony, with its Mahler-like fanfare opening and Brucknerian sense of scale, gives us a welcome hint of what we’ve been missing.
