Description
Niklas Sivel?v has proved a prolific symphonist over the past ten years or so, with six completed symphonies and a seventh currently in progress. The Symphony No.1 (Nordico) was written in the summer of 2013, during a surge of creativity following the birth of the composer?s son on 30th July of that year. The title may be understood both as a reflection of Sivel?v?s upbringing in the north of Sweden, and of at least some of his strongest influences, most notably of Sibelius. The music is bursting with energy and momentum, infused with all the verdant colours of the Nordic forest, its deep blue sky, and ? in winter ? the all-enveloping snow. The work is in three movements of more or less equal duration, lasting in total around half an hour. The writing is highly virtuosic, making considerable demands upon a standard-sized orchestra, the forces extended only by a large percussion section and ? as usual for Sivel?v ? a substantial part for his own instrument, the piano.
