This late-Romantic, lyrical music offers a broad spectrum of atmospheres and emotions.
Is it possible to pack a symphony by Shostakovich into a conveniently pocket-sized format? Viktor Derevianko has done just that with the fifteenth symphony from 1971 – Shostakovich’s distinctive last symphony, which references, among other things, Rossini’s William Tell and the “fate” theme from Wagner’s the Ring of the Nibelung (the composer was working during a hospital stay; he did not have many years left).
The power and melodic density of an orchestra cannot be translated for a small ensemble, but the emotional essence can be extracted and using just a few instruments, the music can be articulated in a way that places certain sections in a new light. Violinist Seohee Min, second concertmaster of the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra, leads an ensemble that also includes cello, piano and three percussionists.

They are named after Swedish composer Amanda Maier-Röntgen (1853–1894). The members of the Maier Quartet are Patrik Swedrup and Johannes Lörstad, violin; Arne Stenlund, viola; and Klas Gagge, cello.
First we hear a world premiere. Ylva Skog (born 1963) has composed works in most formats, and in addition to a large quantity of chamber music, she has composed orchestral works and opera, as well as music for the theatre and dance. The title, Stabilitas loci, means The Stability of the Place, and comes from one of the three Benedictine vows – the vow to remain in the monastery.
Skog’s new quartet is followed by the first of Bo Linde’s (1933–1970) two works for string quartet. During the harsh, modernist-oriented post-war period, the enormously talented Linde went his own way, with a flowingly melodic, expressive and outwardly oriented style. The string quartet op. 9 is a milestone of his oeuvre, because here, Bo Linde definitely achieved his own mature style in an impressive way – at just 20 years old.
Beethoven’s great String Quartet No. 15 in A minor, op. 132, includes a full spectrum of emotions. It is one of Beethoven’s most fascinating pieces, and it is easy to agree with what a contemporary critic wrote: “big, wonderful, rare, surprising and original music.”

Augusta Read Thomas (born 1964 in New York) was inspired by a poem about courage by the thirteenth-century Persian poet Jalal al-din Rumi. Rumi Settings for violin and viola can therefore be seen as a song without words. Anna Clyne (born 1980 in London) composed the playful Hopscotch for flute with inspiration from folk melodies and classic children’s games.
Endre Szervánsky (1911–1977) was a composer and teacher (including of Hungarian-Swedish Ákos Rózmann). He is overshadowed, but was also inspired by, his fellow countrymen Béla Bartók and Zoltán Kodály. Like them, he used folk music in his compositions. We hear the trio from 1951.
The piece is entitled Serenade for two violins and viola, but why did Zoltán Kodály not simply refer to it as a trio? The nineteenth-century serenade genre denoted somewhat lighter music in several movements, and that was what Kodály was referring to with this piece from 1920. The style is typical: a blend of folk melodies, more modern harmonics and dancing rhythms – flirtatious and playful.

She studied at the conservatory in Leipzig, where she met Dvorák, Tchaikovsky and Grieg. She was an acclaimed cultural personality, both as a composer and as one of the leaders of the suffragette movement. We hear the piano trio from 1880.
In the generation after Smyth, British-American Rebecca Clarke (1886–1979) was a pioneer among female composers, and her music has long been neglected. In her last 30 years, she barely composed anything. The piano trio from 1921 is one of her finest works, daring and original. A note of inspiration may be detected from the musical paintings of French Impressionists.
On Swedish soil, Elfrida Andrée (1841–1929) was a role model who paved the way for future generations of women in music. She studied with Ludvig Norman and Niels W. Gade, and was an organist, conductor and composer. She wrote the Piano Quintet at age 24, an achievement that quickly landed her among the Swedish composer elite.
We hear concertmaster Joakim Svenheden; second concertmaster Patrik Swedrup; Pascal Siffert, who is section leader of the viola section; and solo cellist Marie Macleod. These philharmonic musicians are joined by versatile pianist Martin Sturfält, who is particularly well-known as a Stenhammar specialist.

But what fantastic guests! The Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra’s Conductor Laureate Alan Gilbert on violin; composer Brett Dean on viola; and finally, Simon Crawford-Phillips, chief conductor of the Västerås Sinfonietta and pianist in the internationally acclaimed Kungsbacka Piano Trio.
The programme also presents a piece by Brett Dean, the Austrian composer featured in the 2011 Composer Festival at Konserthuset. Imaginary Ballet from 2021 is an extroverted and energetic piece of music – in reaction to the isolation of the pandemic, Dean has explained. The imaginary ballet is characterised by rapid, dancing movements – and the composer is not at all opposed to listeners feeling keen to dance a few steps.
This newly composed piece is framed by Romantic music. Beethoven was 28 years old when he wrote the three string trios of Op. 9, which are viewed as milestones in his development, even if this is not his most frequently played music today. The third trio in particular is characterised by energy, whimsy and bold contrasts, which foretell Beethoven’s later works.
French Louise Farrenc was hugely successful with her first quintet from 1839, and the second one was finished the following year. Both are composed for the quintet arrangement that was common in the nineteenth century, which employed the double bass as a harmonic anchor. The music is characterised by a richness of sound in broadly sweeping melodic gestures, and the piece was acclaimed by contemporary critics.
