I see this month that BIS is releasing:

Stenhammar – Sången, symphonic cantata

BIS-2359 | SACD    EAN 7318599923598    TT: 67'08

Neeme Järvi conducts Stenhammar’s rarely performed symphonic cantata

Wilhelm Stenhammar: Suite from Romeo och Julia, Op. 45 (arranged by Hilding Rosenberg)
Reverenza
Two Sentimental Romances, Op. 28 for violin and orchestra*
Sången (The Song), symphonic cantata, Op. 44, for soloists, choirs and orchestra**

Gothenburg Symphony / Neeme Järvi
*Sara Trobäck, violin
**Charlotta Larsson, soprano; **Martina Dike, alto; **Lars Cleveman, tenor; **Fredrik Zetterström, baritone; **Children’s Choir of Norrköpings musikklasser; **Gothenburg Symphony Choir & Vocal Ensemble



Should be a good one to get.

Beautiful music, all of this! Stenhammar is one of my favorite composers.

Järvi must be speedy. His recording of Sången goes for 29'45" while Blomstedt's on Caprice takes 35'!

That would be what one would expect from Jarvi!

Yeah, I remember him over here as conductor of our RO, he speeded through Brahms 3 in 28 minutes.....
