September 2015

Technically it's a model not just of evocation through restraint and Nordic order…but it's also a piece that manages to plot a firm narrative through sonic tension alone, without recourse to 'show and tell'…Storgårds's very physical readings underline the structural engineering in all the music here and the Bergen Philharmonic revel in Wallin's varied dark colours.

4th June 2015

The vivid performances by the Bergen Philharmonic under John Storgårds show how Wallin’s instinctive ear for sonority was already evident in his earliest orchestral piece Id, from 1982, even though many of its musical ideas seem rather routinely rhetorical.
