Søren Nils Eichberg (b.1973) 2nd Symphony 'Before Heaven, Before Earth' (2010) Danish Radio Symphony Orchestra, Christoph Poppen (cond.) Image from Skyrim (modified)
The symphony sounds very impressive. I don't know how to explain it. Perhaps because many of the harmonies are reminiscent of Arthur Honegger and, most piquantly, climbs to certain heights strongly associate me with similar movements from my fundamental symphony number 2 "Frogner Park". Norway is one of my favorite parts of the world. These are, of course, my personal associations, but they gave me pleasure. Thanks to the channel Nini Hampo.
Could you enlighten us why? Because harmonically it's too advanced for you? Or maybe because you haven't even made it past the 1:35 mark and you thought the aleatoric sounding introduction was all this symphony had to offer?
Intense. Haunting. Disturbing. Enchanting.
I love this piece. Sounds nordic but majestic and misterious in a propulsive, driven way. Reminiscent of Honegger's motor rhythms ?
