Born in 1972, Sebastian Fagerlund was recently described as ‘yet another obscenely talented young musician from Finland’ (MusicWeb International). The musicians of the eminent Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra revel in the composer’s striking gift for orchestration, in performances supervised by the rapidly emerging young conductor Dima Slobodeniouk, The clarinettist Christoffer Sundqvist’s playing served as inspiration for the composer as he wrote his colourful and eventful Clarinet Concerto.

Partita is a work consisting of three movements with titles that mirror the composer’s concerns: Cerimonia (Ceremony), Risonanza (Resonance) and Preghiera (Prayer).

Closing the disc is Isola (Island) which sprang from a visit by the composer to an island in the Turku archipelago formerly used to segregate lepers and the mentally ill from the rest of society - an ‘isle of the dead’ which today is an idyllic holiday location. A similar alternation of darkness and light, of movement and motionlessness, of violence and sensitivity, permeates Fagerlund’s tone poem.

Composer: Sebastian Fagerlund
Performer: Christoffer Sundqvist
Conductor: Dmitri Slobodeniouk
Orchestra/Ensemble: Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra

Reviews: The sleeve-note describes Finnish composer Sebastian Fagerlund – presumably with the composer’s approval – as ‘a post-modern impressionist’. On the evidence of this disc he strikes me as neither. Avant-garde he clearly isn’t (is anybody these days?): the ‘tone-bending’ effects in the Clarinet Concerto may be telling, but they’re hardly ground breaking. Fleeting echoes of James MacMillan, Magnus Lindberg and John Adams suggest that, like them, he is distinctly ‘over’ modernism. But the strong sense of momentum, the feeling for how musical currents shift and blend as well as power forward, plus the unmistakable (and often impassioned) nature imagery, suggest a composer who can side with his great countryman Sibelius without the slightest need for self-protective irony.

These are three strong, freshly poetic pieces, that make themselves understood directly without any kind of verbal conceptual help – and yet which also reward repeated hearings. Knowing about what inspired these works – the tragic Isola particularly – is helpful, but Fagerlund’s music has an authentic openness that speaks for itself, and if his melodies don’t resemble ‘tunes’ in any familiar sense, their lyricism is warmly appealing. Full marks to clarinettist Christopher Sundqvist, the Gothenburg Symphony and Dima Slobodeniouk for putting all this music across with such power, intelligence and refinement, and to BIS for demonstration-quality recordings.
