The Mountain King (2/2)
The conclusion of Alfven's ballet-pantomime The Mountain King with the Malmö Symphony Orchestra, plus music from the Helsingborg Guitar Festival.
Ian Skelly introduces the best of recordings from around Europe.
Concluding his week of music from Denmark and Sweden, Ian introduces Acts 2 and 3 of Hugo Alfvén's epic 'ballet-pantomime' The Mountain King, performed by Malmö Symphony Orchestra with conductor Patrik Ringborg. There's more music for 2 guitars, recorded at Helsingborg Guitar Festival with the Swedish duo of Mats Bergström and Göran Söllscher. The Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra and Alain Altinoglu perform Dvorak's symphonic poem The Golden Spinning Wheel, based on the macabre folk tale from Erben's 'Kytice', and the Helsingborg Symphony Orchestra is joined by cellist Jakob Koranyi in Swedish composer Andrea Tarrodi's cello concerto 'Highlands', inspired by the Scottish countryside.
