Hilding Rosenberg/Oratorios

Rosenberg plays Rosenberg

Oratorios, a separate CD from a boxed set of 3, vol. 2 in the Collectors Classics series.

An off-forgotten aspect of 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 three CDs with a selection of his main orchestral works and oratorios recorded between 1940 and 1949. CAP 21509 contains symphony No. 5 “Hortulanus” and “The Holy Night”, Christmas oratorio.
