I became more glad when I found Rangstroems symphonies on label CPO. This great geniuses music I think completely wonderful. I liked it the first time I once heard it, and I just getting more and more in love with it the more I listen. But what I miss is a recording of this wonderful opera "Kronbruden" ("The crownbride"). Please entlighten me it I am wrong, but as far as I know there are no recording on CD of it. Though I hope CPO or Musica Sveciae produce one. There have now after all been several stage productions, which were filmed 1983 and 1990, I think, so the music must have been taken up on recorded medium somehow, as the films were not mutefilms. For me there is no doubt that Rangstroem, like Stagnelius, had been internationally famous if his language had been a greater one, English or German. I don't know of any other who so skilled and with such imagination and compassion could catch the mood of a poem and give it a dress of the most fitting music. Mats Norrman [log in to unmask]
