Northern Lights #80. Scandinavian and Baltic music
In Northern Lights, every two weeks, we exclusively focus on Scandinavian and Baltic music for an hour. There are no boundaries to our search, we delve into both the old and new, the familiar and the lesser-known, gladly exploring the entire spectrum of classical music and cross-overs. Today, we have something to celebrate. Swedish composer Anders Hillborg turns 70 years old this year, and Estonian Esa-Pekka Salonen will have worked as an artistic director with Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen for 20 years.
In this episode:
- Anders Hillborg. (pictured above) Concerto for clarinet ‘Peacock Tales’ (2002). Philharmonie Zuidnederland conducted by Duncan Ward with Valentine Michaud (clarinet)
- Anders Hillborg. Sirens (2011). Stockholm Philharmonic orchestra/Swedish radio choir/Eric Ericson Chamber Choir conducted by Esa-pekka Salonen with Ida Winland (soprano) and Hannah Holgersson (soprano)
