Discovering the music of Peterson-Berger is like finding you have a distant millionaire relative who has left their entire estate to you; a castle, a yacht, and a fortune in the stock market. Now Herr Peterson-Berger, I am much richer knowing your music style and melodic virtues.
As a kid, my family had a summer holiday in Jämtland and we ended up visiting the Wilhelm P-B museum and my father bought the recordas a memento. 7 yo me could not get enough of this music. It was one of the things that made me learn to play the violin a couple of years later.
An ode to summer, by one of our greatest national romantics :) To me, each of the four parts represent a month. The first one is May, the second is June, and so on. Summer has just gone, but I can't help but long for those balmy, bright, Nordic nights of early June again.
Two years on since I commented and it's still a favourite, definitely my favourite piece of mid Summer music, even better (more 'summery') than the better known Midsommarvaka of Hugo Alfvén. Summer is winding to a close in Ireland as I sit with the lights on in my kitchen looking out at dark trees against a slightly less dark lawn and lighter sky at 9pm. The loneliness of Autumn is on me and I long for the bright all night magic of June and early July.
UNA MUSICA BELLISSIMA, CHE CI RIPORTA IN UN MONDO LONTANO, MA CHE CORRISPONDE AL TRASCENDENTALE, PER CUI, QUESTA MUSICA SARà SEMPRE DI MODA E, DI CONSEGUENZA, RECEPITA CARLO LAMBERTI
June 22nd, 2022. Here again to celebrate Midsummer, man but this guy really nailed it. Still my favourite piece of 'Midsummer music' and it still, just, shades out Alfven's "Midsomarvaka". Maybe 'The Ballad of St. John's Eve' next in honour of the day itself tomorrow.
Yes he nailed it! And another one I just discovered is this guy ..after 4:33 and then 6:03 is a total homerun ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-g58jWAcTX-w.html
I don't know - it sounds very English to me. Could easily have been written by Sullivan, Parry, Quilter or German. That does not in any way devalue the music for me, which is written in the best possible taste.
Indeed it is, you can buy it here. www.amazon.co.uk/Swedish-Orchestral-Favourites-August-S%C3%B6derman/dp/B00000144M/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1471878402&sr=8-1&keywords=B00000144M
"Frösön (Frey's island; Swedish pronunciation: [fɾøːsøːn]; [fɾøːsœʏːa] in the local dialect, Jamtlandic) is the largest island in the lake Storsjön, located west of the city Östersund in Jämtland, Sweden. During most of recorded history the island was the regional centre of Jämtland." - Wikipedia The title refers to the flora/flowers found on that island.
Är det inte den här som brukar spelas när kungafamiljen kommer fram under Nobelfesten vid något skede också? Intressant att de valt den här låten i så fall ;)
