- Kurt Atterberg (12 December 1887 -- 15 February 1974) was a Swedish composer and engineer. He is best known for his symphonies, operas and ballets. He cited the Russians, Brahms and Reger as his musical influences, and his works combine their compositional styles with Swedish folk tunes.

Personnellement, je découvre ce concerto et je le place d'emblée comme l'un de mes préférés en ce qui concerne cet instrument. Kurt Atterberg est un compositeur qu'il faut faire découvrir en France !
It's a Huuuuuge Monumental work......Infinítas Gracias for the Introduction....from México!
Thank you for the music of Atterberg. He will be one of my favorites.
I like Atterberg... Thank you for this.. ❤️💞
My favorite cello concerto, thank you for the upload
Obscure work, I had never heard of this Composer.
Thank you for sharing
A very beautiful concerto, deserves to be much better known, thank you !
New work to me, I warm towards this composer with each of his compositions I hear, and enjoy!
thank you!
I'll give this a listener's Wow! It moved into 2nd place on my personal list behind Dvorak. That was easy since I didn't have a solid 2nd place cello concerto that I have enjoyed.
True....Imagine if Gliere'd written a cello concerto......
@@steveegallo3384 If I had such an imagination, I would write it myself just to at least hear what it really sounded like. LOL! But alas I am just a lowly listener who probably would have trouble playing chop-sticks on the piano now.
@@bowerdw -- No NO, Doug...for YOU ARE WRONG! Do NOT let your lowly pathetic self-deprecating station in life DETER you from the Call of Destiny, your Hagiography...Eschatology! It was NEVER about Imagination but only about Selective Reminiscence....and the Sum of All Fears!
@foxyjohnuk No, thanks for the lead. I'll check them out.
This cello concerto belongs to the postromantic school, from the beginning and its tremolo of strings against which sings the cello. The roots of the music of Attenberg as quoted by the composer himself prove it, and the audition confirms it. However, there is a quite personal language which has nothing to do with the often mellow and richly orchestrated music of the postromantics. Here, the language is direct, and the orchestra is treated in a rather sharp way. It does not prevent the concerto to have some deeply personal feelings expressed. One of the interests of this concerto is precisely the orchestra. It is almost always present, so we are far from these concerti for virtuosos in which the orchestra was reduced to the minimum in order to leave the voice to the soloist. This is indeed a musical composition in the strict meaning of the word.
Endeed!
The Thomas-Mifune recording is abridged, it is a fine recording but I like Mork more.
Thanks for this fine recording by Kurtz. It is played very well and has much charme and.....yes, it has great sense for the music!It is just over 50 years old and Kurtz belongs to a much older generation of Cellists. I do not think it is out of tune for example.It is a different approach to play a little bit "too high" , and today taste of playing the Cello has changed.
This concerto is very vigorous. It is challenging in terms of balance between the soloist and the orchestra.
Obra preciosa.Bellísima.Posromántica aunque no lo paresca.Espero que toda la obra de Attemberg se ejecute mas en mundo porque es fascinante y olvidado .He descubierto que fuera de los compositores alemanes hay grandes sin conocer como R.V.W.
De acuerdísimo....Que no olvides Montsalvagte! Saludos desde México…..
rare piece
Who painted this lovely view on Stockholm? Is it Stockholm?
+Vegter Loedeman It is indeed Stockholm, it's called "Stockholm från Söder I" and painted by Einar Jolin.
@@KuhlauDilfeng2 Thank you!
There is a Koch label recording of this with Thomas-Mifune as soloist. Is anyone familiar with that recording? The CD info lists four moments not three.
The concerto can be more accurately described as being in a single movement. If you notice there are actually 4 tempos mentioned in the description above, but the format is that of a slow introduction, followed by an exposition in an Allegro tempo, segueing into a slow central section and ending with a reprise of the Allegro, slightly modified as if it were a sonata recapitulation.
Someone please help me find the sheet music for this!!!
did you found it?
I have it here: www.dropbox.com/sh/wmvw95vsb9k9h9e/AAC49TWQ14PKhA5e-NkHWNO4a?dl=0
There are 12 measures missing in this recording at 3:14 . I don't know if it is just how Kurtz played the concerto or the part got missed in edition.
I really hate to be that guy, and I'm not trying to be nit-picky, but I have to point out one mistake in this video. If you listen Between 14:31 to 14:40, you can hear the same set of music being repeated once.
Nonetheless, it's a great video. I really enjoyed the piece of music. :)
I noticed this, too. It is a nice and nostalgic surprise for me as it reminded me of scratched records and CDs that would skip from overplay.
I am not sure if this composer was an engineer too, as stated here. Wikiepedia states his father was engineer.
He was an engineer like his father, he also worked at the Swedish Patent and Registration Office for almost 60 years.
thanks for the info! Amazing composer, professional, I see he studied engineering at same time as doing music degree. Strictly he is not amateur composer at all, just happened to be doing both engineering and composing at the same time!
@@75Chopin yeah, school for music isn't everything, if you compose this well then you're no amateur. I got a software engineering degree and I know more about composing that coding.
22:07 is that Kodaly's cello sonata I hear?
Who is the painter?
Einar Jolin.
Clearly a good composition but definitely not very interesting compared to his symphonies
