At this concert, the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra’s own Jakob Nilsson steps into the spotlight as soloist in the Trombone Concerto by Danish composer Launy Grøndahl. “It’s a standard work that every trombonist knows. It’s lyrical and powerful – comparable to Elgar’s Cello Concerto or Grieg’s Piano Concerto. It showcases the instrument’s full range,” says Jakob Nilsson.
The orchestra is conducted by Christian Lindberg, himself one of the world’s foremost trombonists. As a conductor, he has also delved deeply into the music of Allan Pettersson. Here, together with the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra, he takes on the grand and evocative Symphony No. 8 – a close sibling to the widely loved Symphony No. 7.
The concert opens with Tchaikovsky’s Romeo and Juliet Fantasy Overture – a musical interpretation of Shakespeare’s tragic love story, full of passion and longing. Many will recognise the famous love theme, heard several times throughout the piece and often used in film.
