5.0 out of 5 stars
Absolutely gorgeous,

This review is from: Michala Petri - Scandinavian Moods (Audio CD)
The moment I saw the title of the new RCA Victor release <Scandinavian Moods> (74321679502), I knew that I was bound to love it. When it arrived, the smiling face of Michala Petri confirmed my prediction even more, since I learned to love this master of the recorder years back when I enjoyed her Vivaldi and other Baroque concerts. To cut to the chase, grab this one!With a 58:10 minute running time, it offers 20 cuts of Scandinavian music, including two sung by baritone Bo Skovfus, featuring Petri as soloist with the London Philharmonic Orchestra, James Judd conductor. Drawing upon music from Norway, Denmark, and Sweden, the producers have mixed folk tunes with classical and modern selections to give us a very beautifully thought out and executed program of music, some of which is quite familiar ("Morning" from "Peer Gynt" and Alfven's theme from his Swedish "Midsummer's Vigil") and most of which is quite unfamiliar to this listener and all the more welcome for that. A superior offering and (again) a definite Grabbit.

This review is from: Michala Petri - Scandinavian Moods (Audio CD)
To be honest, I only heard a few selections from this CD on the radio. The music is haunting.You will be captivated, for example, by selection #17: Elegiac Melodies (2) for Strings, Opus 34: no 2, Last spring, composed by Edvard Grieg. This is a very effective orchestral setting of a well-known Grieg song which, in my opinion, is one the most beautiful songs ever written. The combination of Michala Petri on the recorder with the London Philharmonic Orchestra is quite marvelous.

The lyrics to the two songs are given in the booklet but not translated. A superior offering and a definite Grabbit.
