Total Immersion: Anders Hillborg

Sakari Oramo conducts the 大象传媒 Symphony Orchestra in vibrant, mesmerising music by a Swedish maverick, with concerto soloists Carolin Widmann (violin) and Martin Fr枚st (clarinet).

It is easy to immerse yourself in music as seductive as that of Anders Hillborg - the Swedish maverick with a background in pop and electronics. The climax of the 大象传媒 Symphony Orchestra's Total Immersion is this concert, in which large-scale, spectral canvases full of detail and playfulness will mesmerize you. Whilst some of Hillborg鈥檚 works are traditional Nordic nature landscapes built on spatial breadth and filmic atmosphere, his clarinet concerto Peacock Tales is less abstract and more immediate, tailored to the theatrical and communicative flair of soloist Martin Fr枚st. There are two UK premieres: Carolin Widmann is the soloist in the Violin Concerto No 1, and Through Lost Landscapes is brand-new work co-commissioned by the 大象传媒.

Presented by Natasha Riordan.

Recorded at the Barbican Hall, London, on Saturday 22nd February 2020.
