Symphonies, chamber music & piano works by Ture Rangström in one box

Finland has its Sibelius, Denmark its Nielsen, but who was the most important composer in Sweden at the beginning of this century who entered music history with his very own sound? Ture Rangström (1884-1947). He was a natural talent, a musical bedrock. And so his music is: powerful, hymnic, original. With a keen sense for new ideas, he created al fresco paintings in a block technique in which elegiac tones are sometimes colored by garish orchestral effects. This music is overwhelming in the truest sense of the word.
