For an hour each week, Northern Lights focuses exclusively on Scandinavian and Baltic music. In today’s episode: work by Olli Mustonen from Finland, a Swedish guitar ode and a taster from the debut album The Cave by Danish percussionist Michala Østergaard-Nielsen, who will be featured more prominently next week.
Our musical exploration in Northern Lights isn’t limited by style or fame: we listen to the old and certainly the new, to the familiar and the unknown. We will cover the entire spectrum of classical music and crossover.
