Valen, F.: Orchestral Music, Vol. 1
01. Pastorale, Op. 11
02. Sonetto Di Michelangelo, Op. 17, No. 1
03. Cantico Di Ringraziamento, Op. 17, No. 2
04. Symphony No.1, Op. 30: I. Lento - Allegro

This disc is the first of three dedicated to Valen’s orchestral works and includes three short works from 1930-32 as well as his Symphony No. 1 (1939) and his Violin Concerto (1940), written as a memorial to his godchild and ending with the chorale Jesu meine Zuversicht. During the 1920s he was hard at work forging a style of his own, founded both in his abiding respect for the counterpoint of Bach and Palestrina and the established musical forms, as well as his own powerful expressive urge. The result is a unique form of atonal counterpoint.

Stavanger Symphony Orchestra and conductor Christian Eggen continue the survey of their compatriot Fartein Valen’s orchestral music with a programme spanning the years 1932-1946. Valen had by then already established his distinctive tonal language, an atonal counterpoint based on his studies of Bach with inspiration from Schoenberg and from Alban Berg. The three single-movement orchestral pieces recorded here were written in the space of just over a year, and all have titles that are rich in extra-musical associations.

This third and final disc of the survey of the complete orchestral music by Norwegian composer Fartein Valen includes three shorter one-movement works from the 1930s, as well as his last two orchestral compositions, his Fourth Symphony and the Piano Concerto.

Christian Eggen and Stavanger Symphony Orchestra continues with Valen’s last symphony, somewhat of a greeting to Johannes Brahms: like Brahms Valen ends his Fourth Symphony with a chaconne.
