The immediate merits of Tokfursten

“The immediate merits of Tokfursten include the fact that it is entertaining without renouncing the serious aspects. In places it is even comic, as in the description of the different existences of the mental hospital [...] Otherwise this musical inspiration abounds with inspiration with melodic ideas and bold tones – cleverly utilised by the orchestra under conductor Michael Bartosch and not least by the handpicked ensemble of soloists who all appear to advantage in this model recording.
