Einar Englund - Symphony no. 3 (1/4) "Barbarossa"

[darioeuphonium]

Excellent Symphony. Seems to me it has a bit of Shostakovich's music. :-).

@darioeuphonium Yes, but this symphony, and especially this movement has a poignancy and elegance which is totally strange to the Shostakovitch Symphonies. I branded this movement as the highlight of symphonic writing after WWII. But who am I to say that? Well it is my channel and up-load, so I can say it! Thanks for you commenting!

@bartje11 Yes, you've right. A nordic poignancy in my opinion, we could say or better still define Englund "The Nordic Shostakovich". :-).
