Byström and Bruckner

Anton Bruckner held Richard Wagner in the highest esteem, and when Wagner expressed his liking of Bruckner’s heroic and majestic Symphony No. 3, Bruckner dedicated it to Wagner. Britta Byström is a hero of the timbre, and in her music, she experiments with room reverberations and overtones. She describes her double concerto Infinite Rooms as a musical depiction of ‘mirrors mirrored in mirrors’. The concerto was commissioned by the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra’s Concert Master Malin Broman and contrabass player Rick Stotijn, who will perform it for the first time, here at Berwaldhallen.
