Langgaard: Sinfonia interna

The 'Sinfonia interna' on which Langgaard embarked in 1915 underwent many changes, its music being reused in other contexts. At times it seems the raw material of art rather than the finished work but there are moments of real vision in this lush, post-Wagnerian score and the performance is totally committed.
