Stylistically, she followed in the footsteps of her teacher Ludvig Norman, but in the vivid and beautifully expressive piano trio, she was also influenced by Beethoven, Felix Mendelssohn and Schubert.
Gabriel Fauré made a huge impression on the French music scene and his work spans from gentle music for a salon to musical romance on the path towards Modernism. He is best known for his meditative Requiem, but also composed piano pieces, songs and several outstanding chamber music pieces – like this Piano Quartet. Using broad brush strokes, this music paints everything from dreamy elegance to gravity and melancholy.
We hear strings from the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra along with the orchestra’s pianist Stefan Lindgren.

As the name suggests, this ensemble includes strings and wind instruments. And that is required to perform Franz Schubert’s beautiful and majestic Octet. The music is inspired by Beethoven and was commissioned by renowned clarinettist Ferdinand Troyer. In the gorgeous second movement, the clarinet carries the slow, warm melody – this is classical music at its most beautiful.
Clarinettist, conductor and composer Jörg Widmann says that his central artistic focus is to combine tradition and innovation. In his often energetic and imaginative music, we frequently hear elements of older classical music. Widmann’s Octet is also a tribute to Schubert’s Octet.
“I have called the third movement ‘Song without Words,’ which one might think refers to Mendelssohn, but in fact, this is about Schubert,” says Widmann, who is currently one of Germany’s most celebrated names in music. This year’s international composer festival at Konserthuset is dedicated to the music of Jörg Widmann and begins on 9 November.

Jan Eliasson, a diplomat and former President of the UN General Assembly, reads from Markings by Dag Hammarskjöld. The readings are given between movements in both pieces in the programme. Dag Hammarskjöld was Secretary General of the UN from 1953 until his death in 1961, in what was believed to be an airplane accident. At his home in New York, a manuscript was discovered entitled Markings. Hammarskjöld called these notes “a book of reflections on my negotiations with myself and with God.” He posthumously won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1961.
First we hear music by Fanny Mendelssohn-Hensel. The passionate Piano Trio from 1847 was a birthday present for her sister. Fanny died a few months later of a stroke and the piece was first published several years later. The music was composed at a time of great political and financial unrest in Europe, with revolutions following in 1848.
When World War II broke out, French composer Olivier Messiaen was drafted into the army as a nurse, but was captured in 1940 by German troops and held in a prisoner-of-war camp. Some of his fellow captives were musicians: a clarinettist, a violinist and a cellist. Messiaen played piano. He composed Quatuor pour la fin du temps, Quartet for the End of Time. It had its world premiere in the camp, where it was performed for his deeply moved fellow captives – and the camp guards. This music is spiritual, incredibly poetic and fateful – yet filled with hope.

The Sextet for Piano and Winds is playful and surprising, bordering on absurd, with inspiration from the world of the circus, Parisian street-life, and Dadaists like Jean Cocteau and Erik Satie.
Judith Weir is one of the UK’s best known and most popular contemporary composers. The Guardian has described her musical world with words like lightness, wisdom and fantasy. And that is quite fitting for her Airs from Another Planet, which gives us an idea of how Scottish folk music could sound after being developed for several generations – in a human space city!
Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra pianist Stefan Lindgren and winds from the orchestra also take on Mozart’s Quintet for Piano and Winds, which is nearly a piano concerto in chamber music format. After its first performance in 1784, when Mozart himself played the piano part, he wrote to his father Leopold: “This is the best piece I have composed thus far in my life!” The quintet is imbued with the lightness and spontaneity we associate with Mozart, but also contains a melancholy streak.

And it is our good fortune now to get to hear this music. Like many female composers of the nineteenth century, she had trouble getting her work performed. But many of her male colleagues saw her gift and César Franck arranged for her to have a position at the Paris Conservatory, which was otherwise only attended by men at that time.
This concert is performed by philharmonic members Anna Stefánsson on violin, Nadine Jurdzinski on viola and Hanna Dahlkvist on cello, together with pianist Darya Tchaikovsky.
Richard Strauss composed his Piano Quartet in C-Minor when he was 20 years old and this music is strongly influenced by Johannes Brahms. Despite being performed by a small ensemble, we hear Strauss’ musical personality shine through, with sharp contrasts and powerfully built-up sound.
