Fredrik Hagstedt/Duo Gelland – ”Sinfonia per due violini”

July 7, 2016 at 4:13 pm

Music for two violins. Fredrik Hagstedt’s ”Sinfonia per due violini” is a monumental work in 44 minutes written directly for the two violinists in Duo Gelland, with the intention to be played without pauses. It’s music that insists on your attention, without being obtrusive, as it moves between a romantic-expressionistic style and something I perceive as a stroke of folk music. It’s impressive and grand, but also music you want to listen to.

”Sinfonia…” has also been performed in combination with other art expressions, which isn’t surprising since it was written based on a film script by Johannes Nyholm. You will see a taste of these contexts and combinations in the film below, a film created by Keyvan Haghighi.

Duo Gelland and Fredrik Hagstedt have collaborated in various projects before, but the Sinfonia is one of the most extensive.
