Soup with violin and piano
The Philharmonic violinist Rene Kimura and pianist Per Olsson in ragtime music and more.
Wilhelm Peterson-Berger is one of our foremost national romantic composers, beloved by many for his three collections of Frösö Flowers for piano, among others. The bright atmosphere and melodies that make us dream of nature and the Swedish summer are also found in the suite Opus 15 for violin and piano.
British-American Rebecca Clarke (1886–1979) was a highly skilled violist and violinist and a pioneer among female composers. In the impressionistically coloured Midsummer Moon, she entices with the full range of the violin and the orchestral breadth of the piano, depicting the moonlit midsummer evening.
In between, American John Novacek's wonderfully humorous, insanely virtuosic, and outrageously entertaining Four Rags, ragtime music in four parts. Rena Kimura, a member of the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra since 2017, is accompanied by pianist Per Olsson.
