The Swedish soprano Johanna Wallroth has a flourishing international opera career and has performed several roles at the Vienna State Opera. She had her breakthrough in 2019 when she won the prestigious Mirjam Helin International Singing Competition. Wallroth has appeared with the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra on several occasions, and she also made a guest appearance at a romantic concert in 2020.
This time, we begin by hearing her perform songs by Clara and Robert Schumann. After the intermission, we are treated to an exciting new discovery: songs by the French mezzo-soprano, pianist, and composer Pauline Viardot (1821–1910). Viardot was extraordinarily multi-talented; alongside her operatic career, she took piano lessons from a young Franz Liszt and frequently played four-hand piano pieces with her dear friend Frédéric Chopin. Additionally, we hear songs by the Swedish composers Gunnar de Frumerie and Tebogo Monnakgotla. Monnakgotla has set Edith Södergran’s Dagen svalnar to music (world premiere).
Magnus Svensson is the artistic director of Konserthuset’s Lied concerts. In addition to concerts in the Nordic region and elsewhere in Europe, he has also performed in Russia and the US. Since 2012, he has also worked at the Royal Swedish Academy of Music with re-publishing older Swedish music.
