		We chose Hugo Alfvén, because of his Swedish Rhapsody, bypassing the early Franz Berwald, the neo-romantic Wilhelm Peterson-Berger, whose "Frösöblomster" is a perennial favourite, and Wilhelm Stenhammar who was probably the most distinguished of his contemporaries.
		Hugo Alfvén is best-known for his colourfully orchestrated symphonies, ballets, songs and rhapsodies.
		Hugo Alfvén studied music and violin at the Stockholm Conservatory where his talent was quickly discovered and he was awarded scholarships to make study tours to Germany, France and Belgium.

		Hugo Alfven (1872-1960) is known outside of Sweden primarily for his symphonies.
		From its Rigoletto style opening the music moves from to the solemn to the festive to the ceremonial, all in Alfven's wonderfully lush harmonic language.
		We encounter the romantic Alfven again in the Allegreto second movement, where chromatic brass fanfares contrast with a strict Bach-derived chorale.

	CD Review
		Hugo Alfvén represents the quintessence of the late romantic composer in Sweden.
		Everything he did, he did with the utmost conviction, in his youth studying the violin, later as a conductor and most obviously as a composer, where his strong belief in melody and consonance reigns.
		Thus Alfvén's third symphony became his Italian, despite the virtual lack of even a remotely Italian musical connection, Alfvén, true to his roots, shows his profound knowledge of the rural folk music of Sweden, translating it (like in so many of his works) into an idiom of his own.

	Hugo Alfvénsällskapet
		Hugo Alfvén, the composer of Midsommarvaka (the Midsummer Vigil), the ballet Bergakungen (the Mountain King), 5 symphonies, some 60 art songs, innumerable choral songs and choral settings was one of Sweden's most all-round and fascinating personalities during the first half of the 20th century.
		The aim of the Hugo Alfvén Society is to promote the knowledge of his music and his other activities.
		He is very positive to the interpretations by Neeme Järvi and the Stockholm Philharmonics which were recorded on behalf of the Hugo Alfvén Foundation and are now brought together in one box of 5 CDs

	ALFVEN Orchestral Works Vol.1. Royal Scottish NO/Willen (Naxos) - INKPOT
		Hugo Emil Alfvén (left), contemporary to Sibelius, is one of the Swedes' most favourite composers.
		A violinist by training and also a fine painter, he studied conducting in Dresden and later became Director of Music at the Uppsala University from 1910-1923.
		Recorded in Henry Wood Hall, the sound is very truthful, capturing many details among the winds, giving due prominence to the combined brass sections and laying the heavy drums in its rightful place in the whole picture.

	ALFVEN Orchestral Works Vol.2. Royal Scottish NO/Willen (Naxos) - INKPOT
		Nevertheless, 79 minutes of wonderfully accessible music it is: Alfvén's music constantly brims with life, as in this E major Third Symphony, opening with a Brahmsian Allegro con brio - how unsurprising that it was composed while the composer was in Italy.
		Hugo Emil Alfvén, contemporary to Sibelius, is one of the Swedes' favourite composers.
		The latter stretches its 10½-minutes through the atmosphere of a love song - not surprising again because at that time Hugo was with Marie Kröyer, his wife.

	ALFVEN
		Naxos' commendably ongoing overview of Hugo AlfvÈn's major works conducted by Niklas WillÈn finds the Irish National Symphony replacing the Royal Scottish National, which played the First and Third Symphonies back in 1996.
		The Second is paired with a 19-minute, seven-movement suite from the composer's last work, a balletic retelling of the Prodigal Son legend in a Swedish rural setting.
		Sound is on the dry side, be advised, but that lets everything in both scores be heard.

		Among his works are a large number of pieces for male voice choir, five symphonies and three orchestral "Swedish Rhapsodies", of which the first, Midsommarvaka (Midsummer Vigil, 1903, often simply known as "Swedish Rhapsody"), ranks as his best known piece.

		The colors that Alfven writes are truly unique: lush and often very eclectic.
		One of the rhapsodies is a montage of old ivy league college tunes.
		What truly gets me each time I listen to it is Alfven's skill at writing both beautiful and exhilarating lines for the French Horn.

		My only quibble is regarding the statement in the notes that the Alfven piece included here had wide currency in the 1950s under the name "Swedish Polka".
		It was the first few minutes of Alfven's "Midsummer Vigil", in a version by Percy Faith and His Orchestra, that topped the charts in the early 1950s, given the title "Swedish Rhapsody".
