MARBECKS COLLECTABLE: Sinding: Symphony No 1 & 2

Sinding studied music first in Christiania (now Oslo) before going to Germany, where he studied at the conservatory in Leipzig under Salomon Jadassohn and fell under the musical influences of Wagner and Liszt. He lived in Germany for much of his life, but received regular grants from the Norwegian government. In 1921-22 he went to the United States of America to teach composition for a season at the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, New York. (Wiki)
