Nature Morte
For Jean Sibelius, Rakastava was one of his favourite works. He originally wrote it for male choir, and later also for string orchestra. Einojuhani Rautavaara was a worthy heir to Sibelius’ throne. His piece Sommarnatten has a folk music sound. We´ll also hear music by Estonian composer Veljo Tormis, one of the great choral composers of our time. Pushkin’s Garland was Giorgij Sviridov´s offering for the poet’s 180th anniversary. We also get a wonderful taste of Lidholm´s great treasure trove of choral music.
