Singer

Two works with unrequited or impossible love as motifs open this concert; Jean Sibelius' music for Maurice Maeterlinck's play Pelléas et Mélisande and Kaija Saariaho's Cinq reflets de l'amour de loin with soloists Johanna Wallroth and Karl-Magnus Fredriksson. Finally, conductor Dalia Stasevska leads the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra in Sibelius's dramatically introspective second symphony.

Sibelius & Saariaho

SR Berwaldhallen

Since the world premiere by the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra on the radio, at the height of the war in 1940, Lars-Erik Larsson’s God in Disguise has become a Swedish concert classic. It is a work that tells the story of humanity and instils hope, which is as urgent now as it was then.

God in Disguise

Stockholm City Hall

Gabriel Fauré's beloved Requiem, known for its calm and peaceful character unlike other requiems, performed by the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra and the Swedish Radio Choir under the direction of Fredrik Burstedt. The concert begins with a performance of Austrian Olga Neuwirth's Tombeau II Hommage a Pierre Boulez, followed by the Swedish turn-of-the-century composer Helena Munktell's Suite for Large Orchestra 'Suite Symphonique' in four movements.
