Hello Stig,
A lovely piece, and you performed it beautifully. I’m always delighted to hear a composer I haven’t come across before. Thank you very much.
Best regards, J. Unruh
Thank you much Unruh for liking my performance and I'm glad that you feel great pleasure listening to, for you, new composers. I'm all the time trying to find a forgotten composer. Stay tuned
Best wishes,
Stig

What a wonderful discovery Stig !
Gustaf Hägg's music deserves to be much better known, and this Cantabile is absolutely gorgeous. The late-Romantic lyricism comes through beautifully, and your registration choices on Organteq 2 capture that warm, expressive character perfectly.
Thank you for digging up this hidden gem and sharing such a lovely performance!
