One of the most neglected Swedish composers (along with Eklund and Paulson), Hallnäs is usually grouped with the Swedish neoclassicists Wiren and Larsson, but he experimented with the 12-tone system in his Metamorfosi sinfonice. His output includes (taken from Wikipedia):

Music for the stage
Ballet: Kärlekens ringdans (1955)
Ballet: Ifigenia (1961–63)

Orchestral music
Divertimento for orchestra (1937)
Seven symphonies (including Sinfonietta pastorale (1944), Sinfonia notturna (1946), Small symphony for strings (1947), Metamorfose sinfonice (1952))
Violin concerto (1945)
Piano concerto (1956)
Flute concertos (1957, 1962)
En grekisk saga (1967 – a protest against the junta’s seizure of power)
Viola concerto (1978)
Cello concerto (1981–82)

Organ music
Fantasi (1936)
Fantasi and preludium with chorale (1957)
Pietà (1962)
Organ sonatas – No 1: De profundis (1965), No 2 (1977)
Passionsmusik - Musica dolorosa (1968)

Chamber music
Viola Sonata, Op. 19 (1943); dedicated to Sten Broman
Legend for viola and piano (1945)
String Quartet (1949)
Spel för två (Jeux à deux) for clarinet and viola (1960)
Violin Sonatas (1965), (1975)
Partita Amabile and other works for guitar

Vocal
Rapsodia (1963) for soprano and chamber orchestra
Cantata solemnis (1971)
Around 100 songs

Various small-scale works of his are available on different CDs, but the most significant work of Hallnäs we have access to is his highly enjoyable, neoclassical Small Symphony for Strings on YT, which bears similarities to Wiren's Serenade for Strings and Larsson's works for string orchestra:



Does anyone have any recordings of Hallnäs' music they could share? I am especially interested in the orchestral works :)

I have a recording of the Cello Concerto, - but others here who could upload it more easily than I perhaps do also.
