Description: Graener's early (undated but probably pre-1904) suite has the sparkling, vernal freshness of the young Grieg but the remaining works are far more serious. The 20-minute "Chamber Music Poem" from 1906 is under the shadow of the death of the composer's young son and thus has an autumnal, Brahmsian aspect; the 1921 trio a similarly dark adagio but cheerful enough surrounding movements while the Theodor-Storm-Musik (1932) (the majority of its 13 minutes are instrumental - the short song setting comes at the end) captures the violence-laden, oppressive atmosphere of that time to a T.
