Sebastian Fagerlund is among Finland's most acclaimed contemporary composers, creating works with vibrant narrative power and emotional depth across orchestral music, opera, and chamber music. This recording contains four works for different instrumental configurations, demonstrating Fagerlund's ability to connect his compositions through strong spiritual and stylistic threads. "Beneath" for string orchestra sits at the intersection of concerto and ensemble work. The solo violin—a "first among equals"—emerges from the orchestra and merges with it, taking a journey from rising chord progressions through energetic passages to a serene resolution. "Remain," a piano trio completed on the day Russia invaded Ukraine, weaves quotations from Ravel, Bach, and Brahms into three emotionally charged movements, dedicated to the people of Ukraine. "Materie," a solo violin piece written for the Kuopio Violin Competition, combines technical brilliance with expressive nuance, unfolding in two powerful waves between contemplation and intensity. The finale "Stilla" for violin and piano moves from introspective exploration through energetic peaks toward a haunting, mysterious close. Throughout all four works runs violinist and conductor Malin Broman as a connecting thread, appearing both as soloist and as part of the Kungsbacka Piano Trio while simultaneously conducting the Ostrobothnian Chamber Orchestra.
