Einar Englund

Einar Englund’s musical language was, in his own words, based on sweeping terms and great symphonic lines. His output as a symphonist was important, and he also composed solo concertos and chamber music as well as film music. He was also well-known as a skilled pianist and great improviser.

”Englund gave voice to a young generation which had survived the war and lost all its illusions, and in so doing he swept away the lingering National Romantic idyll”, Kimmo Korhonen writes.
