For the price of a movie Naxos allows you to explore. This cd includes Englund's Second and Fourth Symphonies and his First Piano Concerto. This is a winner. The symphonies, particularly the earlier one, owe something to Sibelius but have echoes of Shostakovich and, perhaps surprisingly, the Nielsen of the Sixth Symphony, yet the music seems fresh and original. This is accessible music, yet decidedly not bland music. The concerto is an attractive work, similar in concept to the later Rautavaara Concerti. Bernard Chasan
