Review by SMU Interfraternity Council

The album Symphony No4 Symphony No5 by Vagn Holmboe, Jutland Opera Choir, Aarhus Symphony Orchestra, Owain Arwel Hughes is a stunning masterpiece that showcases the immense talent of the artists involved. The album features two of Holmboe's most renowned symphonies, which are performed with great precision and passion by the Jutland Opera Choir and the Aarhus Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Owain Arwel Hughes.

The Symphony No4 is a complex and intricate piece that demands the utmost skill and sensitivity from its performers. The choir and orchestra rise to the challenge, delivering a performance that is both powerful and nuanced. The Symphony No5, on the other hand, is a more introspective work that showcases Holmboe's skill at creating hauntingly beautiful melodies. The performers bring out the full emotional range of the piece, from its moments of quiet contemplation to its soaring climaxes.

Comments

Back here after 4 months. A case of "why state a motive once (or even twice) when you could repeat it ten times."
Perfect songs to read the subjective forms of the clouds and to follow with a tender eye the grooves of the stems of the trees; appreciate the complex writing of the nested branches, taste the colors of the decomposition of light into water droplets in a garden, and strongly feel the wet soil of ancestral forest to perceive the traces of animals from deep past ?

I closed my eyes listening to this, and while a perfectly enjoyable piece, it could have been written by any number of composers--Piston or Martinu or Henk Badings for examples. Thanks for the upload.
not as brilliant as No.8
The painting is by Joseph Mallord William Turner (English, 1775 - 1851), a depiction of the burning of the houses of parliament.
The end of the first movement is awesome!
Incredible. I will go buy this album
Yes, the painting is "The Burning of the Houses of Lords and Commons" :)
breathtaking performance. thanks very much. is the background image a Turner painting?
