    Berg, Natanael

    Berg, Natanael

    Natanael Berg was born in Stockholm in 1879. He composed five grand symphonies, namely:

    Symphony no. 1 "Alles endet was entstehet" [Everything that comes into being comes to an end] (1913)

    Symphony no. 2 "Ă…rstiderna" [The Seasons], (1916)

    Symphony no. 3 "Makter" [Forces] (1917)

    Symphony no. 4 "Pezzo sinfonico" (1918)

    Symphony no. 5 "Trilogia delle passioni" (1924)

    All but the first of the symphonies are available at Youtube to the general public.

    Also noteworthy are his:

    Violin Concerto (1918)

    Piano Concerto (1931) [YT]

    Piano Quintette (1917)

    and
    String Quartette (1919)

    There are five operas, numerous symphonic poems, and more.

    Berg's orchestral style is perhaps best described as that of a kind of supercharged, almost wholly pantonal Richard Strauss.
