Composer Mats Larsson Gothe has had significant success in recent years, including with the opera Löftet ("The Promise") at the Royal Swedish Opera. Already in 2016, he was the focus of Konserthuset’s Composer Weekend Festival. Here, we hear the world premiere of a new cello concerto, featuring internationally renowned Torleif Thedéen as the cello soloist. "The cello concerto for Torleif captures everything that a cello can convey: longing, dreams, pain, and melancholy – but also anger and resignation. I have used the full range of expression", Mats Larsson Gothe explains.

The cello concerto is preceded by music by Elfrida Andrée, a Swedish pioneer around the turn of the last century and the first female cathedral organist. She followed in the footsteps of her teacher Ludvig Norman but was also strongly influenced by composers like Beethoven. Additionally, she was a conductor and herself led at least one famous performance of this majestic Concert Overture in D major.

After hearing Sibelius' second symphony, Stenhammar experienced an artistic crisis. He withdrew his first symphony and sought new paths. In the second symphony, he allows the Nordic elements to take more prominence: in several places, Swedish folk music shines through. Stenhammar's ambition to write "sober and honest music without superficiality" had succeeded.

The orchestra is led by Johannes Gustavsson, who has conducted many of the country's foremost orchestras – the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra most recently in spring 2023. He is the Chief Conductor of the Jönköping Sinfonietta and has previously been the Chief Conductor of the Oulu Symphony Orchestra in Finland and at Wermland Opera.

Tonsättaren Mats Larsson Gothe har på senare år haft stora framgångar, bland annat med operan Löftet på Kungliga Operan. Och redan 2016 var han föremål för Konserthusets Tonsättarweekend. Här hör vi uruppförandet av en ny cellokonsert, med internationellt välkände Torleif Thedéen som cellosolist. ”Cellokonserten till Torleif tar vara på allt det som en cello kan förmedla: längtan, drömmar, smärta och melankoli – men även vrede och uppgivenhet. Jag har använt hela uttrycksregistret”, berättar Mats Larsson Gothe.

Cellokonserten föregås av musik av Elfrida Andrée, svensk pionjär kring förra sekelskiftet och den första kvinnliga domkyrkoorganisten. Hon gick i sin lärare Ludvig Normans spår, men var också starkt influerad av till exempel Beethoven. Hon var dessutom dirigent och ledde själv åtminstone ett känt framförande av denna majestätiska Konsertuvertyr i D-dur.

Efter att ha hört Sibelius andra symfoni drabbades Stenhammar av en konstnärlig kris. Han drog tillbaka sin första symfoni och sökte nya vägar. I andra symfonin låter han det nordiska ta plats mer: på flera håll lyser den svenska folktonen fram. Stenhammars ambition att skriva ”nykter och ärlig musik utan klatsch” hade lyckats.

Orkestern leds av Johannes Gustavsson, som dirigerat många av landets främsta orkestrar – Kungliga Filharmonikerna senast våren 2023. Han är chefdirigent för Jönköpings Sinfonietta och har tidigare varit chefdirigent för Stadsorkestern i Uleåborg i Finland samt vid Wermland Opera.
