He composed it for his childhood friend, violin virtuoso Ferdinand David – and the result was incredibly successful. With its light-hearted airiness and singular melodic beauty, this concerto is one of music history’s most popular pieces in all categories. The soloist is the young Swedish violinist Daniel Lozakovitj.
We also hear music by the unbelievably gifted Romantic composer Franz Schmidt. He studied composition under Bruckner, but also spent fifteen years as a cellist with the Vienna Philharmonic; the orchestra’s conductor, Gustav Mahler, always wanted him to take the solo parts. His flowing and emotional late-Romantic music is played all too infrequently. The influences of Bruckner and Mahler are unmistakable, and the music is also personal and expressive.
The Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra is led by Latvian conductor Aivis Greters, assistant conductor of the Gothenburg Opera and Orchestre de Paris. This marks his debut with the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra. The previously announced conductor Simone Young was obliged to cancel her performances, and as a result Franz Schmidts Symphony No. 2 has been replaced by Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No 5.

He regularly performs with the foremost orchestras and has been soloist with the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra on several occasions. Chamber music is also close to his heart and in 2017, he took the stage at Konserthuset Stockholm together with pianist Yuja Wang.
Now we hear him with pianist Enrico Pace, whose career was catapulted when he won the international Franz Liszt Competition in Utrecht in 1989. He often performs with musicians like Leonidas Kavakos and Frank Peter Zimmermann, and as a soloist with the major orchestras in Europe, North America and Asia.
This concert includes violin sonatas by Beethoven and Bartók. Beethoven’s early Violin Sonata No. 1 is a lively piece that concludes with a playful rondo. Béla Bartók’s Violin Sonata No. 2 is even more rigorous. “Only a violinist of the highest calibre has any chance of learning them,” wrote Bartók in a letter about his violin sonatas. At the same time, the dancing rhythms of Hungarian folk music can be heard, for example in the second movement.
Ravel also took inspiration from other genres in his sonata, specifically jazz and blues. The concert concludes with César Franck’s Sonata in A major. The deep and beautiful harmonies helped make this piece one of his best known and most popular.

His richly associative, nearly cinematic narrative compositions are performed by orchestras all over the world. Now he is at the centre of Konserthuset Stockholm’s Composer Weekend 2023.
In Transit Underground, we encounter several of Tobias Broström’s characteristic musical traits – urban, outwardly oriented, rhythmically charged music and an imaginative use of all the orchestra’s possible sounds. When Tobias Broström was composer-in-residence with the Gävle Symphony Orchestra in 2006–2009, he met Karen Gomyo, who was in Gävle to play Bo Linde’s Violin Concerto. That culminated in a collaboration and this lyrical, masterful violin concerto.
For a brief time in the early 1890s, Erik Satie was involved in the secret Rosicrucian Order, whose ideas came from Egypt in the time of the pharaohs, Renaissance alchemy and mysticism. The result was evocative music to Le fils des étoiles, the Son of the Stars, a drama by the French mystic Joseph-Aime Péladan. Broström has turned Satie’s music into a dazzling orchestral work.
Tobias Broström is a trained percussionist, which meant it was also natural to compose a virtuosic, explosive percussion concerto – although not for himself, but for his peer Johan Bridger. Bridger won the 2004 Soloist Prize, with the statement: “For an intensely personal style, brilliant technical mastery and overpowering stage presence.”

She was supposed to have performed at Konserthuset Stockholm last season, but the concert was cancelled due to the pandemic. Now we finally hear her in Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 23, one of his most played and beloved.
Malin Bång’s music is filled with energy and positively boiling with sonorous power. For her piece Splinters of Ebullient Rebellion, she received both the orchestral prize for best composition at Donaueschingen Music Days, and the Swedish Christ Johnson Prize. A piece commissioned by the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra is now being performed at Konserthuset for the first time.
We also hear Béla Bartók’s vivid Dance Suite, which he composed for the 50-year anniversary of the city of Budapest. He had left his Expressionistic period behind him and chose instead to immerse himself in folk music, but despite the title, this was never intended as music for dancing. The suite consists of six pieces of dreamy folk music with both Arabic influences and imitations of a bagpipe.
The Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra plays under the baton of Russian-born conductor Dima Slobodeniouk, who has long been based in Finland.
