Excerpts. Mikael Samuelsson, Solveig Faringer, Thomas Sunnegardh a.o., Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra conducted by Ulf Söderblom.

This CD takes its material from a remarkable radio performance in 1984 with excerps from the opera. Lars Runsten was responsible for the radio adaptation and Ulf Söderblom, doyen of Finish Opera since many years back was the conductor. The Peterson-Berger opera takes place among students at the Uppsala University during the heydays of Swedish imperialism around 1640. P-B has made a stunningly comical opera, rich in melody and orchestration, extremely well sung by several great Swedish opera singers. The beautiful and poetic Aubade sung by Mikael Samuelson became wellknown during Peterson-Bergers life time as well as the orchestral fugue -again masterly conducted by Ulf Söderblom.
