Johan Svendsen, a
prominent Norwegian composer, offers a gripping and thoughtful story through
his Romance. Written in 1881, it is characterized by a pleading
introduction that eases into a soaring melodic line, which is then embellished
in a disconcerting development section. Finally, Svendsen returns the listener
to the comfort of the familiar uplifting theme in the final moments of the
work. Christina Castelli
