BBC Symphony Orchestra From Sweden
Complete performance
Sunday 22 May 2005 18:30-20:00 (Radio 3)
The Swedish cellist Mats Lidstrom, who lives in London, thinks we Brits don't hear enough Swedish music. And so he conceived the idea of a From Sweden festival.
Tonight he premieres a new cello concerto by Rolf Martinsson. And Mario Venzago, Principal Conductor of the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra, introduces a Wagner-inspired overture by Stenhammar, and a symphony by the most influential 20th century composer, Hilding Rosenberg.
Recorded in the BBC's Maida Vale Studios and presented by Andrew McGregor.
