Godzinsky, George de - Evening Dusk Serenade - Hedlund, Linda

The repertoire of Finnish violin and orchestral music is full of hidden gems, and a considerable number of works have remained unperformed and unpublished. The music on this recording represents a style of light classical music that was popular from the 1930s to the 1960s but has now been largely forgotten. All of the composers represented on this album created highly lyrical and charming works, including Uuno Klami, who is considered one of the most important composers in Finnish music history after Sibelius. Linda Hedlund graduated from the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna in 2002 and completed her doctorate in violin performance at the Sibelius Academy in Helsinki in 2010. Since 2019, she has specialized in baroque violin performance at Yrkeshögskolan Novia. Hedlund has performed internationally as a soloist and chamber musician with the La Tempesta orchestra, alongside principal musicians of the Vienna Philharmonic and pianist Oliver Kern, as well as with numerous other orchestras and chamber music groups worldwide.
