Wilhelm Stenhammar (1871-1927) - Midvinter Op. 24 (1907) Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra Painting by Gustaf Rydberg (1835-1933) "Vinterlandskap med hästfora" (1868)
The first time I heard this piece, I was driving to work on a snowy, icy day, and the local classical music station played it. It hit me so hard in all its beauty and power that I nearly ended up in a ditch. I am irrevocably convinced that this is the music that God was listening to when He created the Archangel Michael. Thank you!
