Eggert: Symphonies Nos. 1 & 3, And Incidental Musi

GAVLE SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA KORSTEN

Arriving in Sweden in 1803, Joachim Nikolas Eggert soon thereafter established himself as a progressive conductor, introducing Beethoven to Stockholm audiences. Hinting at Mozart and Haydn, Eggert’s large-scale First Symphony, welcomed overwhelmingly on its première, foreshadows Mendelssohn in its wind textures and rich harmonies. His Third Symphony is kaleidoscopic in its moments of light and shade and unusual in its gigantic fugal finale. First of a two-volume set, these two symphonies alone demonstrate that Eggert should be considered one of the more important composers of his era.
