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!
