Herbert Blomstedt has selected music by Nielsen, Sibelius, Grieg and Stenhammar for this year's Nobel Concert with the Royal Philharmonic and soprano Miah Persson.

This year's Nobel Concert has Nordic signs. The main number is Jean Sibelius's second symphony, a work that lies warmly to Herbert Blomstedt and which he has directed several times during his long career. We also hear songs by Wilhelm Stenhammar and Edvard Grieg with soprano Miah Persson.

The Nobel Concert celebrates this year's Nobel Laureate, who just like representatives of the Swedish royal house hear the concert in place.

The program includes interviews with both Miah Persson and Herbert Blomstedt. A longer interview with Blomstedt can be found at the bottom of the section.

So we rarely use the word "explained". Not like someone told you how something is, but like something has changed and become clearer. Such is Strauss's music in Tod und Verklärung.
