  Eduard Tubin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Eduard Tubin (June 18, 1905 - November 17, 1982) was an Estonian composer and conductor.
Born in Kallaste, Estonia, Tubin fled occupied Estonia for Sweden in 1944, where he lived and worked until his death in Stockholm.
The shift to a less nationalistic and more international and angst-filled style came after Tubin had fled Estonia for Sweden in 1944 when Estonia was occupied by the Soviet Union.

 Eduard Tubin
Tubin descended from a musical peasant family on June 18, 1905 in Alatskivi, right after the Russian Revolution of 1905 and the subsequent declaration of martial law, which resulted in a politically tumultuous state that was to last for quite some time in Estonia.
Tubin would claim Haydn as his favorite and as the "father of the symphony", this was only appropriate since Tubin's fame would come as a result of his own symphonies.
Tubin was his country's first composer to "write extensively in the large classical orchestral forms which were able to make their way into the world's concert halls"(Ashby).

Eduard Tubin (1905-1982) was Estonia's most important composer in the modern era.

Eduard Tubin (1905-1982) is a name hardly on the tip of everyone's tongue, even in his native Estonia (or in Sweden where he lived from 1944 until his death).

That was was the fate of Eduard Tubin (1905-1982).
The positive side of this paradox was that Tubin, during the half of his life as Swede, at last got time to write music, for which he always had had to steal time when he was conductor and in-house composer of the Vanemuine Theatre in Tartu.
Tubin's heritage is just now at a critical dead point, between the generations as well as between the great investments.

Tubin's Fifth Symphony, written in the wake of the Soviet occupation of Estonia, is a nationalist flare filled with existential angst, explosive violence, brooding pathos and a concluding swell of determined resolve.
Tubin's most inspired passages come in the slow movement where he weaves two Estonian folk melodies — one carried by pizzicato cellos, the other by long-breathed violas — into music of somber tragedy.

 Composer [Eduard Tubin] / SMIC
At the time of his precipitate departure from Estonia in 1944, Eduard Tubin ranked as its foremost composer, and subsequently he retained very close links with his old country.
Tubin’s music has an insistant rhythmic beat, clarity of structure and imaginative, colourful orchestration.
The first composition he wrote here was Piano Concertino (1944), which, it is true, was played and well-received: “Tubin’s style is modern but not dry and linear but full of folk music temperament, buoyant and vigorous.

 First International Tubin Festival, Tallinn
So the First International Tubin Festival, entitled 'Eduard Tubin and his Time,' broke musical ground not simply by exposing a number of Tubin works in concentrated concert but also by placing them in the context of his contemporaries, some of them even less familiar figures than Tubin himself.
The flautist Marika Järvi joined her cellist brother Teet and the pianist Alexander Markovitch in a programme that set Tubin alongside Prokofiev, one of the most potent influences on his style, and Oja and Martinú, inter alios.
There is now an Eduard Tubin Society, based in Tallinn and with membership open to anyone interested in his music.

 Toccata Music Shop - BIS Records - BIS-1402/04 Tubin - The Symphonies
Eduard Tubin (1905-1982) came to maturity just as Estonia managed to free itself from the shackles of Russian domination in 1918.
This freedom was relatively short-lived and in 1944 Tubin fled to Sweden where he spent the rest of his life, though without ever really gaining the recognition in musical Sweden that he deserved.
This should enable many of the new generation — who may well have been led to believe that Arvo Pärt is the only major composer that Estonia has produced to date - to catch up on another really significant Estonian composer; one whom BIS has helped to rescue from obliviont.

 Classics Today.com - Your Online Guide to Classical Music
After the acerbic, frequently tormented style of Symphonies 6-8, Eduard Tubin's last works in the form reveal him as less concerned with pain and suffering and instead preoccupied with comparatively tuneful, gracious thematic material, lucidly organized.
Tubin's orchestration also thins out considerably in these later works, with percussion limited to timpani and the scoring more open and widely spaced among instrumental groups than previously.
Symphony No. 11, only the first movement of which was performable after Tubin's death, shows the composer returning to the neo-classical manner of such works as the Fourth and Fifth Symphonies, allied to his newly luminous scoring.

 - Tubin: Symphony No9; Symphony No4 @ Soundbug
After the stormy and dramatic First and Second Symphonies and the heroic yet defiant Third Symphony, The Fourth Symphony "Sinfonia Lyrica" (1943, revised in 1978) of Eduard Tubin (1905-1982) is a laid back "for a change" type of piece (like Sir Arnold Bax's Third Symphony of 1929).
The Symphony is peaceful, a premonition of spring, with optimism and sprinkles of heroism embetted throughout the otherwise beautiful and appealing score.
The Gothenburg Symphony orchestra was not far behind in terms of performing Tubin's Ninth Symphony out of admiration.
