Martinsson has also arranged songs by Clara.
Robert Schumann’s beautifully “naive” Kinderszenen consists of 13 short, simple piano pieces, including the well-known Träumerei. Kinderszenen – scenes from childhood – is said to be inspired by Clara’s comments on her husband Robert, that he is sometimes “like a child.”
Johannes Brahms spent time with Robert and Clara Schumann, who took the young composer under their wing (it has often been pointed out that Brahms was in love with Clara). At age 25, Brahms wrote two serenades for a small orchestra, as a sort of preparation for larger orchestral works. Both were written soon after Robert Schumann’s death in 1856, and Serenade No. 2 is dedicated to Clara.
Tribute to Clara Schumann is a concert concept created by Lisa Larsson, who is vocal soloist. Västerås Sinfonietta is led by its chief conductor Simon Crawford-Phillips conducts

It is a work that tells the story of humanity and instils hope, which is as urgent now as it was then.
The text is from Hjalmar Gullberg’s poetry collection, Love in the Twentieth Century. Gullberg was inspired by ancient mythology: as punishment, the god Apollo was forced to walk in disguise among the people of Earth. Through this story, Gullberg commented on his own era: he was deeply impacted by the persecution of Jews in Germany. Actor Marika Lagercrantz recites and Matilda Sterby and Karl-Magnus Fredriksson are vocal soloists.
Conducted by Emil Eliasson, the programme begins with two Swedish works from around the same period: Erland von Koch’s folk-music-inspired Nordic Capriccio and Ingvar Lidholm’s tender Toccata e Canto. We also hear Swedish-American Molly Kien’s Pyramid from 2013 – music inspired by a Hilma af Klint painting.

Dalene and the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra recently released an album of Sibelius’ and Nielsen’s violin concertos. He was then named Young Artist of the Year by the leading magazine Gramophone, and the cd was also awarded a Swedish Grammy.
At this concert, we hear him in Nielsen’s Violin Concerto, a dazzling, virtuosic masterpiece! It is highly evident that Nielsen was a violinist in this temperamental concerto, in which he truly takes advantage of the incredible power and expressive possibilities of the violin.
The Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra is led by Sakari Oramo, who was the orchestra’s chief conductor and artistic director from 2008–21. His final concert as chief conductor was an in-depth journey through the musical landscape of Jean Sibelius. At this concert, we have yet another opportunity to hear Sakari Oramo interpret Sibelius’ Symphony No. 7. Dense and intensely colourful music in a single movement. In Sibelius’ own words, this symphony is full of gusto and vivacity.

Since 1999, their home base has been the modern concert hall L’Auditori in Barcelona. With this guest performance, the orchestra makes their long-awaited debut at Konserthuset Stockholm, led by their French chief conductor Ludovic Morlot.
This programme is characterised by French and Spanish elements, and in the case of Maurice Ravel – both: he was deeply interested in Spanish culture, and his mother had Basque origins and grew up in Madrid. We hear three works by Ravel, including Shéhérazade for soprano and orchestra, with Singaporean-British Fleur Barron singing the solo part. “Charismatic star” and “knockout performer” are quotes from the American and British press that pique curiosity.
We also hear her in music by Xavier Montsalvatge – a trendsetting twentieth-century composer who lived in Barcelona. The song cycle Canciones Negras unites Catalan folklore and West Indian elements. The concert begins with music by Raquel García-Tomás, born in 1984 in Barcelona. She composes modern interdisciplinary works, with elements of electronics and other artforms. Some of her pieces engage in dialogue with older masters, as heard here with Johann Sebastian Bach.

With such empathy and intensity, few can captivate an audience like Jansen. At this concert, Janine Jansen and the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra perform a new violin concerto by Britta Byström.
Byström comments, “In this violin concerto, the soloist moves between ‘day music’ and ‘night music.’ The swirling and light day music becomes shorter and shorter as the night music lengthens – we hear all of the orchestral sounds that emerge as darkness falls. Composing for Janine Jansen has always been a dream for me and this piece is inspired by her expressive playing.”
Spanish conductor Jaime Martín also leads the orchestra in Brahms’ Serenade No. 1. It would take time before Brahms presented a symphony, but the 25-year-old’s growing mastery of the orchestral form is evident here in this lyrical and heartfelt music. Jaime Martín was chief conductor of the Gävle Symphony Orchestra until recently and is now chief conductor of both the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra and the National Symphony Orchestra of Ireland.

And he does so with a key number that is close to his heart: Stravinsky’s The Firebird – not the often-played suite, but the complete ballet music from 1910. “It’s an enormous orchestra and the best version,” says Bancroft.
This also marks a step in the recordings of Stravinsky’s ballets Petrushka, The Firebird and The Rite of Spring – Bancroft and the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra’s first recordings together.
It is possible that Lili Boulanger heard at least one of these Stravinsky ballets, all of which premiered in her home city of Paris in the early twentieth century. First, we hear Lili Boulanger’s D’un matin de printemps – one of the last works this young genius composed before passing away much too young in 1918, at just 24 years old. Despite the circumstances, this is bright music with light and playful steps.
Åland-born soprano Sofie Asplund is doubly present in Konserthuset this season: both in a lied concert and on this occasion, when she sings arias by Mozart. Asplund has garnered a great deal of acclaim in recent years and has been praised for several of her interpretations of roles on Sweden’s opera stages.
