Today is the birthday of Swedish Composer Wilhelm Stenhammar (1871 - 1927) He composed with his own unique voice in a romantic Nordic vein. He wrote several fine songs, six very lovely string quartets, two piano concertos, as well as two symphonies. His Masterpiece, in my opinion, is his Serenade for Orchestra.
You've got me searching now for more great lesser known symphonies. Very much enjoying Kalinnikov's first and Berwald's third.

Okay, that Serenade is sweet. Time to dive into the symphonies. Thank you for this discovery (to me)!

Thank you for this reminder. He is one of my favorite composers and I didn't know yesterday was his birthday.
