A new recording of Hjalmar Borgstrøm's symphonic poems: 'Tanken' & 'Jesus i Gethsemane' on CPO just popped up over the weekend.  It's found on YouTube:

No mention on the jpc, Presto (futures), or Amazon, nor Apple, etc. websites.

Thanks for this.

According to Dutch Wikipedia, 'Tanken' is apparently the later work, dating from 1917; 'Jesus i Gethsemane' dates from 1904.

From a quick listen I wouldn't say the idiom was outstandingly individual but this will, I am sure, be a mandatory purchase when it's advertised for sale.

Tanken was recorded once on a norsk kulturrads klassikerserie CD coupled with the tone poem for pno & orch Hamlet

Thanks for the heads-up jasthill. The album is available for streaming on Qobuz (my preferred streaming platform) at CD quality, with pdf booklet to read. I will add it to the weekend's listening list!

The recording and booklet are also on Presto streaming.
