Karl-Birger Blomdahl: The Wakeful Night

Karl-Birger Blomdahl (1916-1968), Adagio from Theatre Music No.1 Vaknatten (The Wakeful Night or Valpurgis Night). Stockholm Sinfonietta, J-O Wallin, cond. K-B Blomdahl was a pupil of Hilding Rosenberg (1892-1985) and from the 1950's he went into modernistic twelve note music. His modernistic works are the most famous but I prefer this, I'm not sure when exactly it was composed but i guess before 1950. Art by Eilif Peterssen (1852-1928) and Elin Danielson-Gambogi (1861-1919)
