Bengt Wilhelm Hallberg:
Concert Overture for orchestra No. 2 in F major
Symphony in F major

Joseph Dente:
Symphony in D minor

Represented on this disc are two Swedish composers from the late 19th century, Bengt Wilhelm Hallberg and Joseph Dente. Hallberg's Symphony in F major - the first movement's elegant introduction reveals that this is not a symphony in the heroic style but more a gentle alternative, almost lyrical-romantic. Dente's Symphony is full of energy and vitality.

Dente uses, like Hallberg, an ascending triad motif which is followed by descending movement in the scale.
