Setting texts by five poets – with three poems of Bo Bergman at its heart – it shows an astonishing range and depth. Tonight, Roderick Williams gives a rare complete performance of this cycle. Camilla Tilling makes a welcome return to the Festival to perform other Stenhammar songs, including ‘I Skogen’ (‘In the woods’), a perfectly-formed gem written when the composer was still a teenager.
