Hilding Rosenberg (1892–1985)

Rosenberg plays Rosenberg

Volume 2 in the Collectors Classics series, a boxed set of 3 CDs. An off-forgotten aspect of Hilding Rosenberg’s versatility was his activity as performer of his own and other people’s music, both as conductor and pianist. To celebrate the centenary of the composer’s birth, Caprice records released a three CD box with a selection of his main orchestral works and oratorios recorded between 1940 and 1949.

A separate book contains an essay about Hilding Rosenberg as a performer as well as a recapitulation of his activities as a conductor, pianist and organist including an updated repertory of his works with a discography (1915-1980).
