The Last Century

wed 28 dec 2022 19:00 hour

Music composed in Scandinavia in 1922.

Today another episode featuring music composed precisely one hundred years ago.

The program begins in Denmark with an orchestral suite by the “other” Nielsen: not Carl, but his contemporary Ludolf (pictured).

Afterwards, we will listen to the Fifth Symphony by the Swede Kurt Atterberg. His so-called ‘Sinfonia funèbre’ does not sound everywhere as gloomy as the subtitle suggests.

At the end of the broadcast, there is a short piano work by Finn Jean Sibelius, played on his grand piano.
