“… The Liepaja players unearth the dark thread that runs under the uneasy vitality of the symphony’s outer movements and move us with the grief of its central andante. Solberg was organist at Lillehammer for 44 years, writing both for the instrument and for voices. His accessible Good Friday Meditation is beautifully sung here, while examples of his muscular organ works are played with authority by Tim Collins, who holds the post today.”
