In Northern Lights, every week an hour is devoted exclusively to Scandinavian and Baltic music. In today’s broadcast: Danish art of song and Icelandic neoclassicism of the highest calibre.
There are no limits to our search, surrounded by old but above all new, familiar but certainly also lesser-known works. And we are equally happy to embrace the entire spectrum of quasi-classical music and crossovers.
