A Scandinavian Sojourn with Andrew Mellor

Andrew Mellor has established himself as something of a British cultural attaché to Scandinavia since moving to Copenhagen in 2015. Well known for his contributions to BBC Radio 3's Record Review and the BBC Proms, he takes Paul on a guided tour of Denmark, Faroe, Iceland, Norway, Sweden and Finland, discussing some of the fascinating music that has been inspiring him recently.www.prestomusic.comMusic discussed:Nielsen: Symphony No. 3, Op. 27 (FS60) 'Sinfonia espansiva'Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra; Myung-Whun ChungBIS - BISCD321Sørensen, B: La mattinaLeif Ove Andsnes (piano); Norwegian Chamber Orchestra; Per Kristian SkalstadDacapo - 8.226095ConfessionsNico Muhly & Teitur with Holland BaroqueNonesuch - 7559794430Þorvaldsdóttir: DreamingRecurrence - ISO Project, Vol. 1Iceland Symphony Orchestra, Daníel BjarnasonDorian Sono Luminus - DSL92213Grieg - Choral MusicDet Norske Solistkor (The Norwegian Soloists’ Choir), Grete PedersenBIS - BISSACD1661Gunnar Idenstam: Songs For JukkasjärviSimon Marainen (yoik/vocals), Brita Stina Sjaggo (vocals), Sandra Marteleur (violin), Thorbjörn Jakobsson (saxophones), Jonas Sjöblom (percussion), Gunnar Idenstam (organ & pre-recorded sounds)BIS - BISSACD1868Outi Tarkiainen: The Earth, Spring's Daughter & SaivoVirpi Räisänen (mezzo-soprano), Jukka Perko (soprano saxophone), Lapland Chamber Orchestra, John StorgårdsOndine - ODE13532The Voice of SibeliusTom Nyman (tenor) & Tommi Hakala (baritone) YL Male Voice Choir & Lahti Symphony Orchestra, Hyökki (a cappella works) & Osmo Vänskä (accompanied works)BIS - BISCD1433Presto MusicAll things musical... on your doorstep!Visit our website: www.prestomusic.comFollow us on Facebook, Twitter or InstagramLove us?
