Let's dream a little about the summer...!🌞🌹Winter is finally starting to loose its grip, but where I live it's pretty grim right now with water covered ice, slush, and mist.🌫So, let's follow Peterson-Berger on a little journey through the summer of Jämtland (a mountainous region in Sweden)! 'P-B' went to his beloved Jämtland to gather inspiration for his opera Arnljot in 1903, and the music that he then didn't use in the opera he instead put into these pieces.🎵 They didn't originally have individual titles, but many years later he made an orchestral version with the titles added. I personally feel that these titles partially are diminishing, and depriving the music of its drama and sensualism, because these pieces are so much more than just cute sunny summer memories. So I encourage you to create your own images!💭Anyway, P-B is mostly known for his quaint little piano pieces "Frösöblomster", but this is a much more ambitious work that I can't believe is so unknown and unplayed by Swedish pianists! Hereby trying to change that.🙌As always - don't forget to click the thumbs-up and subscribe! 😃
I think the titles are useful, and Olof Höjer connects to Peterson-Berger's own description of a trip in the mountains in the liner notes to his recording. P-B changed the metronome values for many of pieces when he orchestrated the suite.
Yes, a sweet dream about summer, what a wonderful composition!!! Thanks for introducing it to us, have to look up the composer and his works! So excellently played 👏🏻
Glad you like it! His most famous (in Sweden) piano pieces are his 'Frösöblomster', mostly the first volume. They're very charming indeed, but this really is on another level. But I've recently discovered some other larger scale piano suites, so maybe some of that will be featured in the future!

What beautiful pieces and wonderfully played. I closed my eyes and just absorbed the amazing music. It really takes you there, well done!
Thank you so much, and I'm glad you liked it! :)

Fantastic composition and interpretation. Bravo !
Thank you. It's an amazing discovery!
Så fantastiskt bra spelat Henrik!
Tack :)))
III. is incredibly modern for being Oscarian Sweden. Very well played!
...and VI, jisses! :-D
@@HenrikBergpianorganist It was maybe (re-?)issued then, but the date of composition is 1903 - it contains unused material from Arnljot. :)
@@esperantofeig Glöm allt jag sa, trodde det var en annan video du kommenterade på😆😆😆 De ser så lika ut…
