Editorial Reviews

Marcel Tyberg was a victim of the World War II Holocaust, but his scores were preserved and have recently been revived through the support of JoAnn Falletta and the BPO. The Second Symphony is filled with romantic enchantment and pastoral narrative, reflecting Tyberg's reverence for nineteenth-century styles. The Second Piano Sonata also develops earlier traditions, revealing the influence of Beethoven. Tyberg's Third Symphony can be heard on Naxos 8.572236, the Washington Post stating that the Buffalo Philharmonic 'has never sounded better...Tyberg's music is wellcrafted and earnest, tuneful and filled with seriousness of purpose and harmonic mastery.'

5.0 out of 5 stars A surprising musical find in Marcel Tyberg.
Reviewed in the United States on November 11, 2022

You can now add Marcel Tyberg to the still growing musical canon of Late Romantic classical composers. Classical music label Naxos once again provides us with a surprising recording. Tyberg's Symphony No. 2, written in 1927, abounds with originality. The music is tuneful, tonal, and replete with memorable melodies. I have listened to this symphony several times and it never gets tired or boring. At 42 minutes long, the length of the entire work is just right. It never overstays its welcome. The Finale is beautiful and uplifting.

I did not find this work to be overtly derivative of any late 19th century Germanic composers. Yes, his musical compositional style is rooted deeply in the past, but his originality always comes to the forefront. He must have simply felt that the 20th century's atonal musical style was not in his soul and he could not go down that path. Marcel Tyberg just did what came natural to him. In this sense, he was no different than Sergei Rachmaninov who also stayed true to himself in the early part of the 20th century and wrote in a late 19th century Romantic musical style.

Nevertheless, thank goodness that the manuscripts for these works were preserved during a turbulent period in European history. What a shame it would have been had they been lost to us and posterity for all time. JoAnn Falletta and the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra give this wonderful symphony their full commitment. This orchestra has never sounded so good, and the Naxos engineering team provide them with a powerful yet clear and opulent recording. All sections of the orchestra shine in a recording I will be going back to for many repeated listenings.

To my ears, the piano sonata written in 1934 is reminiscent of Franz Schubert and Franz Liszt, which is good company to be associated with. The piano playing by Fabio Bidini is superb throughout the entire sonata. It is also well recorded with full and clear piano sound. If you are into classical composers that wrote in the "late Romantic period" style, then this CD is a must.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Stellar Recording and Performance.

It is a pleasure to be among the first to review this great recording. Once again, Maestro Falletta and the Buffalo Philharmonic are outstanding in bringing us this CD of Marcel Tyberg's 2nd Symphony. Fabio Bidini provides an impressive account of Tyberg's Piano Sonata #2 as well.
The 1st movement of the Symphony is very Brucknerian. Right away, this listener was thinking of the opening movements of Bruckner's 1st and 2nd Symphonies. Tyberg creates a marvelous synthesis of musical line in the Bruckner tradition. What won me over very quickly is the devotion, affection and mastery of Tyberg's compositional skill.
The 2nd movement is Brahmsian in it's sweetness. It provides a variety of moods from pensive to noble. There is a section of this movement with sensuous wide intervals that surprise and delight.
The 3rd movement Scherzo is once again very Brucknerian with tinges of Dvorak. It is brilliantly scored. Elements of dance, landler and folksong are present in a marvelous stew of scenes.
The 4th movement opens with a Preludium and fugue. It is a passagalia which is heard often in pieces composed for the organ, which was after all, Tyberg's main instrument. The dark mood lifts from minor to major providing the movements main theme that blossoms into a wonderful culmination composed in a fugal fashion. The coda is miraculously rendered by the performers with triangle, gong and cymbal chiming in at key moments to provide a fitful conclusion. Delightful!
The Piano Sonata #2 in F sharp minor was composed in 1934. The 1st movement will remind one right away of Beethoven. It has a storming quality (Allegro con fuoco) with quiet passages that build extra developement into the main sections. The slow 2nd movement is as deeply poetic as top-draw Chopin. Wagner's Tristan und Isolde is also present in certain passages. I think it is an absolute jewel of expression and depth of feeling. It is simply stunning in it's beauty. The 3rd movement Scherzo changes in key and metre and contains a 'song without words' in an intermezzo section. The 4th movement Finale opens with bell-chime chords. A memorable motif followed by several variations and a climax in the works home key crowns this impressive composition.
The Naxos sound is as good as it gets. Perfectly judged and mixed. The feature instruments in key sections of the Symphony are gloriously brought to the fore without any noticable distortion to the over-all orchestral sound. JoAnn Falletta and the Bufffalo Philharmonic have done Tyberg proud once again! God bless them for it!
Pianist Fabio Bidini has had a lifelong devotion to the keyboard since the age of five. He is now a professor at the world-renowned Hochschule fur Musik Hanns Eisler in Berlin. A wonderful performance Mr. Bidini!
If you love the music of the composer's mentioned in this review, you most likely will love this recording. Kudos to all concerned.
Excellent booklet notes are provided by Edward Yadzinski. I borrowed a bit from them to provide a more full description of the music. Thank you, Mr. Yadzinski.

I try to distance my mind from the composers horrible ending and on the beauty of the music he created. This symphony IN MY OPINION could rival that in brilliance to that of any romantic era composer from any country. I hear echoes and reflections of the style of other giants. I hear individuality as well. There is depth brilliance and beauty in the symphony. It is played with reverence, brilliance great skill and passion in every note. It is played to raise the soul of Tyberg to the same heavenly place he gave the listeners to live in for 40 or so minutes. I am grateful to have heard this music in my life time.

Symphony No. 3 of Tyberg was received by many with a mixture of celebration and sorrow: Another victim of the Nazis, and this one with great musical talent which produced a wonderful symphony saved from destruction and oblivion.
Many of us have been waiting with great expectations for No 2., but I recommend that one listens to this one with other expectations than those inspired by listening to No. 3. No. 2. is not only earlier in the oevre of Tyberg, but also influenced by earlier composers in the musical tradition than No. 3. There is more of Schumann, although the scherzo is Brucknerian. But the last movement is almost a return to Bach and his fugue making, but also in an orchestration similar to how Stokowski did it with Bach fugues. So this is another example of reactionary music that representatives of modernism would have hated? How could one compose like this in 1927? Evidently one could, and Tyberg was not the only one! Richard Wetz for example composed Bruckner's Symphonies No. 10, 11 and 12. And Alfredo Casella composed Mahler's Symphonies No. 11, 12 and 13. If the invention of new musical forms is the only criterion for good music, then Tyberg's No. 2 is a failure. But if content is equally important, then this symphony is a wonder: Yes, one has to listen beyond one's familiarity with the language Tyberg uses, but then one will gradually experience how creative and inventive he is with the musical material. Just as Mozart was within the language of Haydn and other predecessors. This is truly substantial music!
And now another set of great expectations: Does No. 1. exists? And will it be recorded?

I came across this c.d only recently and decided to purchase it after reading the reviews and after having purchased and enjoyed Tybergs' 2nd symphony.

I was not disappointed and feel that, in this composer, I have found a new, true genius.

I hope more of his works make it into the repertoire. What a find.
