Sköld is much nearer Tchaikovsky and his Danish brethren Louis Glass and Hakon Børresen (early years) than he is to his compatriot Melchers or to the Finn Uuno Klami. He can sometimes sound like a dynamic Delius or at others like Malcolm Arnold. The hymnal recessional of the Adagio sounds as if it is likely to break into the slow movement of Tchaikovsky's Fifth at one moment and into Grieg's Last Spring at another. There is a flighty finale that seems to shadow Elgar's Enigma. The allegro molto is vigorous and is bursting with regal and raucous confidence. There were two more symphonies: 3 (1948) and 4 (1966). Although Peterson-Berger's Third Symphony is spoken of in the notes as a model for the Sköld work the Sköld lacks the meldoic distinction of Same Atnäm. | Error processing SSI file |
