The Swedish Horn
Ib Lansky-Otto, Albert Linder, Sören Hermansson, Pelle Jakobsson, Carl Gustaf Färje
The fifth installment in Caprice Records’ series of digital compilations with Swedish art music is primarily dedicated to the French horn. Not necessarily because the horn has been an often recurring choice as solo instrument by Swedish composers, but rather because the examples that do exist shine with splendid musical and technical qualities.
What should also be mentioned is how immensely important different types of horn have been for the development of Swedish folk music, with origins far older than, for instance, the fiddle. This is commented upon throughout the album by the insertion of traditional herding calls and shepherd tunes played on cow horn between the grandiose and serious art music works.
