Hugo Alfven’s music has always been close to the hearts of the Swedish people, and ranks among some of the most significant and representative of the spirit of the country. Alfven is known as a cheerful entertainer in compositions such as "Den forlorade sonen" (‘The Prodigal Son’), and these recordings sweep us into the remarkable world of Scandinavian landscape and culture.
