nosagcd 2028 - STELLAN SAGVIKS LANDSKAP/LANDSCAPES (2CD)

Double CD, single Price
This is a very special double CD with music and hear-plays by Swedish composer Stellan Sagvik - It is based on Swedish folklore tunes from different parts of Sweden, played by a solo wind instrument and strings, but it is NOT arrangements, more a contemporary comment with the old material twisted and turned and interluded with sound scapes from different times and places - 18th century harbours, town squares of today and yesterday, water dripping mines, birdsong glens, steps on old stairs and shoot-outs outside the restaurant.
A kind of ear journey, with a light joke attitude eye.

As one of the musicians put it: "This is NOT folklore, this is NOT contemporary classical, this is NOT arrangements, this is NOT eam , this is a bloody sallad!"

The 138 minutes CD is filled with great artists from Sweden and Transylvania (soloists and strings from Filarmonica de Cluj and Stockholm String Ensemble), and the composer is conducting.

THE CRITICS:

www.musicalpointers.co.uk: "This is an unusual double CD with music by Swedish composer Stellan Sagvik based on folklore tunes from different parts of Sweden, punctuated by atmospheric sound pictures, the whole making a delightful amalgam and - so important to Musical Pointers - a unique compilation of attractive inventions by an attractively fluent and eclectic composer. (---) It is mostly genial and ingenious music; easy listening but not simplistic. The craftmanship of Britten comes to mind now and again; the horn concertino sounds close to his Serenade. The idiom of this composer is never abrasive, nor is it too bland. (---) Each concertino is characterful and they should be sought out by students building their repertoires. A group of them would be ideal for a music college/academy student concert. Recommended as well worth seeking out. The taped interludes will certainly bring you smiles. (PGW) "

www.musicweb-international.com: "A quirky and engaging collection of music by that remarkable figure Stellan Sagvik. (---) The core of this two CD set consists of Sagvik’s sequence, 10 Swedish concertini. Each concertino is in three movements and all of them are unfailingly beguiling – tuneful, elegant, with a few acerbic touches that leave one in no doubt as to the quality of Sagvik’s musical imagination and technique. This is not cosily nostalgic or superficially pictorial music.
There is some attractive jazz-inflected writing in the Närkisk Concertino; there’s some charming melodic writing in the Skånsk Concertino and some brilliantly brassy writing and playing in the Sörmländsk Concertino. The Trioconcertino is full of delightful instrumental interplay and the sureness of Sagvik’s knowledge and touch is evident in his thoroughly idiomatic writing for the tuba, bassoon and trombone as soloists in their miniature concertos. Everywhere the writing for strings is lucidly imaginative. A number of these concertinos deserve to enter the repertoire of other soloists. (---)
I recommend this heartily – both for the quality of several of the concertinos and for the wit and imagination evident in every aspect of the presentation of the whole package."
