Intense. Haunting. Disturbing. Enchanting.

The symphony sounds very impressive. I don't know how to explain it. Perhaps because many of the harmonies are reminiscent of Arthur Honegger and, most piquantly, climbs to certain heights strongly associate me with similar movements from my fundamental symphony number 2 "Frogner Park". Norway is one of my favorite parts of the world. These are, of course, my personal associations, but they gave me pleasure. Thanks to the channel Nini Hampo.

I love this piece. Sounds nordic but majestic and misterious in a propulsive, driven way. Reminiscent of Honegger's motor rhythms ?

[@user-pw9us5yo4m]

This comparison with Honegger seems helpful

Could you enlighten us why? Because harmonically it's too advanced for you? Or maybe because you haven't even made it past the 1:35 mark and you thought the aleatoric sounding introduction was all this symphony had to offer?
