Scandinavian and Baltic Music
Selim Palmgren
In Northern Lights, we devote an hour every week exclusively to Scandinavian and Baltic music. Our musical search knows no boundaries, taking us from the old to the new, from the familiar to the decidedly less familiar. That alco includes the entire spectrum of quasi-classical music and crossover styles. Today’s episode features Finnish theatre music, a film score for a horror film set in Lapland, and some delightful Northern indie pop with subtle ambient influences.
