Nordiske Temperamenter by Grieg, Heise, Rangström, Ture, Nielsen, Fri 06 Dec 2024, From (2024/2024), Conductor Thomas Søndergaard, Musikhuset Aarhus, Aarhus, Denmark

The Scandinavian keynote sounds pure in a concert where Danish songs and sounds, Norwegian melodies and Swedish shows are mixed to create a new and original portrait of the Nordic mentality. Experience the Nordic national romance in a completely new way! We mix the well-known notes from Peer Gynt with songs by Heise, one of Denmark's strongest song composers. The songs can be experienced this evening with an orchestra for the first time, and together the two composers shed new light on the Nordic national tone. We also get new light on the Nordics in music by the Swedish composer Ture Rangström, which we rarely hear in Denmark. It is the Swedish baritone Andreas Landin who, together with us, opens the lid to the treasure chest of Swedish song. We end with Carl Nielsen's wonderful portrait of his fellow human beings. The fun, playful symphony about The Four Temperaments is one of Carl Nielsen's most beloved works. The choleric gets excited, the phlegmatic daydreams, the melancholic complains and the sanguine "storms thoughtlessly forward in the belief that the whole world belongs to him and that fried pigeons fly into his mouth without work or thought." If you are in Holstebro on Sunday 8/12 2024, you can experience parts of the concert repeated when the city celebrates its 750th anniversary - together with us and the city boy, conductor Thomas Søndergård.
