‘Letters from Scandinavia’ is a love letter to all things Nordic, devised by the Scandophile mezzo-soprano Joanna Harries. It is both song recital and historical audio travel guide, a weaving together of music and text that follows in the footsteps of intrepid women journeying in the 19th- century in the then little-known ‘wild north’. The songs are a treasure trove, drawn from the golden age of Scandinavian song, and are interspersed with readings which are underscored and brought to life by specially-commissioned new music by composer Peter Facer.
