Review by James Leonard [-]
For years, people have been listening to the wrong piece by Kurt Atterberg. Instead of the Symphony No. 6, the "Dollar Symphony" that won its composer a $10,000 prize in 1927, what people should have been listening to is this Concerto for cello and orchestra. Begun in 1917 and finally completed in 1922, the three-movement work, like most of Atterberg's oeuvre, is written in the Romantic Grand Manner with big tunes, bold virtuosity, and seductive harmonies.
