Svenska Stjärnor: E.S.T. Symphony
The Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra meets some of the country’s foremost pop, rock and jazz artists in collaborations that cross borders. Hear your favourite musicians like never before, alongside all of Sweden’s symphony orchestra. Here, the orchestra pays tribute to late jazz pianist Esbjörn Svensson, led by conductor and arranger Hans Ek.
This production is part of one or more concert series.
As early as in 2003, Esbjörn Svensson himself arranged one of Esbjörn Svensson Trio’s compositions for orchestra, and Hans Ek has consciously continued on in the same spirit of taking the group’s cross-genre works and dressing them symphonically. Svensson’s improvisations are also included, written down in great detail by Hans Ek, helped by the group’s recordings. The trio’s 15 year history is represented in various arrangements and suites, which are here performed by the Radio Symphonists with guest appearances from some of today’s foremost jazz soloists: Marius Neset, Magnus Broo, Helge Lien and Johan Lindström.
