Five composers who represent the rich tapestry of Swedish music composed in the twentieth century. From the experimentalist, Karl-Birger Blomdahl, to the pastoral music of Gunnar de Frumerie, the scores have been chosen to present a contrasting and pleasing introduction to Swedish music throughout the era. Though many of Sweden’s composers, including Lars-Erik Larsson, and Kurt Atterberg created a major international reputation in the world of opera and symphonic music, this disc explores their works in a lighter mood, and provides an interesting insight into the scope of their compositions.
