Music by 20th-century composers.
Today: works from Finnish composer and conductor Leif Segerstam.
Today, you can listen to three works from Finnish composer and conductor Leif Segerstam, who recently passed away. We play you his 12th and 81st symphony, which are both eloquent one-part works that carry a great power of expression.
We end the programme with a short work for piano, that puts some thoughts of Segerstam from 1976 into sounds.
