Product Description
From Amazon.co.uk
Recorder player Michaela Petri's masterful exhibition of virtuoso intimacy beautifully exemplifies the musical character of Sweden, Denmark and Norway on Scandinavian Moods. The disc comprises music by the 18th-century troubadour Carl Michael Bellmann, his 20th-century apostle and main expositor Evert Taube, and Norwegian violinist/composer Ole Bull-all household names in Scandinavia--as well as arrangements of folk music, folk-inspired composers like Grieg and Nielsen, plus modern examples of folk/jazz show tunes. Petri flaunts her impressive technique and breath control while the light-hearted yet sensitive arrangements by Wolfgang Kafer are tastefully executed by LPO under James Judd. However, the dynamic limitations of the recorder hold the orchestra in a steady stranglehold of mezzoforte. Petri sounds best in duet with jazz bass guru Niels Henning Orsted Pedersen, an impressive example of Scandinavian jazz musicians' affinity with their own folk traditions. --Yngvil V G

This review is from: Scandinavian Moods - Includes Music by Grieg, Alfren, Nielsen & More. (Audio CD)
To be honest, I only heard a few selections from this CD on the radio. The music is haunting.You will be captivated, for example, by selection #17: Elegiac Melodies (2) for Strings, Opus 34: no 2, Last spring, composed by Edvard Grieg. This is a very effective orchestral setting of a well-known Grieg song which, in my opinion, is one the most beautiful songs ever written. The combination of Michala Petri on the recorder with the London Philharmonic Orchestra is quite marvelous.

This review is from: Scandinavian Moods - Includes Music by Grieg, Alfren, Nielsen & More. (Audio CD)
The moment I saw the title of the new RCA Victor release <Scandinavian Moods> (74321679502), I knew that I was bound to love it. When it arrived, the smiling face of Michala Petri confirmed my prediction even more, since I learned to love this master of the recorder years back when I enjoyed her Vivaldi and other Baroque concerts. To cut to the chase, grab this one!With a 58:10 minute running time, it offers 20 cuts of Scandinavian music, including two sung by baritone Bo Skovfus, featuring Petri as soloist with the London Philharmonic Orchestra, James Judd conductor. Drawing upon music from Norway, Denmark, and Sweden, the producers have mixed folk tunes with classical and modern selections to give us a very beautifully thought out and executed program of music, some of which is quite familiar ("Morning" from "Peer Gynt" and Alfven's theme from his Swedish "Midsummer's Vigil") and most of which is quite unfamiliar to this listener and all the more welcome for that. A superior offering and (again) a definite Grabbit.
