About

“If Valen (1897-1952) had not been such a shy, self-effacing person, he would have won fame throughout Europe” So said Issay Dobrowen, a prominent conductor in the inter-war period. The beauty and profundity of Valen’s subdued but expressive music is being discovered by more and more listeners, all pioneered by 2L’s new Blu-ray audio and Hybrid SACD release.
