Herbert Blomstedt conducts the 2019 Nobel Prize Concert. With music by Nielsen, Stenhammar, Grieg and Sibelius.

The prestigious gala concert is held each year to honour the year鈥檚 Nobel laureates. It is always a glittering affair, held every December 8th in the Stockholm Konserthuset - the very same venue as the awards ceremony itself

Last year's concert celebrated, appropriately enough, four Nordic composers: opera extracts by Nielsen, songs by Grieg and Stenhammar and Sibelius's epic, sweeping second symphony

During the interval, the talented young Nightingale String Quartet plays the exquisite fourth quartet by fellow-Dane Rued Langgaard. A pupil of Nielsen's, he gave it the subtitle "Summer Days" and it is concise, elegant and quite delicious

Presented by Fiona Talkington.
