Sven-David Sandström 75
Peter Friis Johansson plays newly written Five Pieces for Piano and Orchestra by recent 75-year-old Sven-David Sandström! Also music by Shostakovich and Haydn – and almost by Mozart, but mainly by Alfred Schnittke.
This production is part of one or more concert series.
Israeli conductor Omer Meir Wellber is back at Berwaldhallen, now with new music by Sven-David Sandström: Five Pieces for Piano and Orchestra, commissioned by Peter Friis Johansson, who will also perform it himself. Alfred Schnittke’s Moz-Art à la Haydn is a stark contrast, a theatrical and – in terms of the sound – humorous work that celebrates and parodies both the old composers. There is actual Haydn too, with his Symphony No. 49. Symphony No. 9 by Shostakovich – a composer admired by Schnittke – will also be performed.
