When the turn of the century dance scene underwent major changes, a new world of sounds, colours and rhythmic imagination opened. Under the direction of Anton Holmer, the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra takes you through a time when ballet moved from playful folk to modernist elegance. The Swedish Ballet in Paris was a force that drove development forward both scenically and musically with works such as Darius Millhaud's Le Creation du Monde (The Creation of the World), Kurt Atterberg's De fåvitska Jungfruna (the foolish virgins) and Manuel de Falla's El sombrero des tres pices (the three-tipped hat). Maurice Ravel's Une barque sur l'océan then glides forward like an impressionist dream ship in a concert that brings new life to the ballet music of the turning point.

Pure joy! This is the musical program Mozart set for himself in his so-called "Coronation Mass," written in March 1779. In reality, it resounded in Salzburg Cathedral for Easter that same year, and it was only after the composer's death that it became the essential accompaniment for the weddings of crowned heads. The graceful vocal quartet clearly alternates with jubilant, swift choirs, the two concertante oboes adding a festive touch to the ensemble.

Welcome to a musical discovery program that leads to one of the most famous rhythms of classical music. Chief conductor Andrés Orozco-Estrada and the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra begin with Silvestre Revuelta's pulsating Sensemayá – seven minutes of dense magic and rhythmic heat. Then, P2’s Classical Artist, Ami-Louise Johnsson takes center stage in Kurt Atterberg's suite for violin, viola and orchestra: three movements with both lyricism, musical joy and dreamlike sounds. Johannes Brahms deepens the listening experience with his variations on a theme by Haydn, where the same melody is transformed over and over into new colours and temperaments. And finally: Ravel's Boléro – the slowly growing crescendo machine where a simple rhythm becomes an entire orchestral storm.
