Description:

Pettechon's Symphony No. 12 "The Dead in the Square" on a poem by Nobel Prize winner for literature Pablo Neruda! Christian Lindberg continues his series of recordings with the Norrkoping Symphony Orchestra of contemporary Swedish composer Alain Petteshon. This disc features Symphony No. 12, "The Dead in the Square". The work is a symphony with chorus based on a poem by Pablo Neruda. Neruda was a Chilean poet, diplomat, and politician. In both his poetry and his political actions, he was a very influential figure who pushed the poor and oppressed; he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1971. While Pétesson's dark and violent passages appear throughout the work, along with his sympathy for the disadvantaged, the clear strings and beautiful melodies that seem to dream of heaven are also impressive in this work. The piece is a one-of-a-kind world that is both powerful in its impact and prayerful in its presentation. King International
