Sibelius' Fifth Symphony is his most performed and beloved. He already felt during its composition that he was creating something great. "Have received a wonderful theme", he noted in a diary entry. He had seen sixteen swans, which gave him the idea for the magnificent theme in the final movement. "One of the great experiences of my life! My God, what beauty." The orchestra is led by the Latvian conductor Aivis Greters, who has conducted the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra a couple of times in recent years.

The composer, pianist, and conductor Adolf Wiklund's two piano concertos are among the best Swedish works in their genre. The first concerto from 1906 is grandly romantic in the footsteps of Rachmaninov, spiced with a touch of Grieg and a pinch of his friend Stenhammar. Wiklund was also the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra's second conductor, from 1925 to 1938.

As the soloist in Wiklund's first piano concerto, we have the versatile pianist Magnus Svensson. He performs concerts both in Sweden and internationally. He has particularly immersed himself in the art lieder and is the artistic director for Konserthuset’s series of lied concerts. Since 2012, he has also been working at the Royal Swedish Academy of Music with re-publishing older Swedish music.

English

Sibelius femte symfoni är hans mest spelade och älskade. Han kände redan under arbetet med den att han var på väg att skapa något stort. ”Har fått ett underbart tema”, noterade han i en dagboksanteckning. Han hade sett sexton svanar, vilket gav honom idén till det magnifika temat i sista satsen. ”En av mitt livs stora upplevelser! Herregud vilken skönhet”. Orkestern leds av den lettiske dirigenten Aivis Greters, som dirigerat Kungliga Filharmonikerna ett par gånger tidigare på senare år. 

Tonsättaren, pianisten och dirigenten Adolf Wiklunds båda pianokonserter hör till de bästa svenska verken i sin genre. Första konserten från 1907 är storslaget romantisk i Rachmaninovs efterföljd, kryddad med en gnutta Grieg och en nypa av vännen Stenhammar. 

Som solist i Wiklunds första pianokonsert hör vi den mångsidige pianisten Magnus Svensson. Han ger konserter både i Sverige och internationellt. Han har inte minst fördjupat sig i romanskonsten och är konstnärlig ledare för Konserthusets serie Romanskvällar. Sedan 2012 arbetar han även på Kungliga Musikaliska Akademien med återutgivning av äldre svensk musik.
