Peter Lindroth: Zman

Description

"Music has to come from within and it must express as well as arouse thoughts and emotions...At the end of the day being an artist should be about finding the voice that is your own, cultivate it and let it lead you wherever it's going." c Peter Lindroth
SQIII was planned to premiere in May 2021 but this did not go ahead due to the pandemic. The piece was to be resumed later that year but there was no quartet due to illness. To create this recording, remaining members Matts Eriksson and Ingrid Akerblom with colleagues from Norrkoping Symphony Orchestra, Mohamed Sharara and Manon Briau formed a temporary quartet for the concert which took place in 2022, and remains here on this recording. Violations was premiered by Cecilia Gelland in 2020 at the Vasteras Concert hall. For this piece, picture yourself looking into a room that has been closed for 300 years. Through cobwebs and dust one can make out what is happening in there and yet it's out of reach. Flimba consists of 6 movements of varying length and has served as a building block for a number of Peter's work. It was premiered by Annica DeVal and Anders Dahlstedt in 2022 at the Norrkopingsljud festival.
