Composer/Series: Letters from Scandinavia
Description
Letters from Scandinavia is, I hope, an adventure. It certainly has been for me in creating it. It began with a chance stumbling on Mary Wollstonecraft' s Letters Written During a Short Residence in Sweden, Norway & Denmark, written on the cusp of the nineteenth century, at a time when most of the rest of Europe was almost entirely ignorant of the 'wild north'. I soon discovered a treasure trove of historic travel writing about Scandinavia, which I duly devoured. Scandinavian song has to be the most unjustly underperformed of the song repertoire, but once discovered, it is difficult not to evangelise to everyone you meet about what they might be missing out on. It set me off on my own journey; I raided the archives of Nordic composers, both well-known and little performed.
