Thanks, Colin. Just to complete the Munktell-fest, I've added to the Downloads board here a recording of the broadcast of her symphonic poem Bränningar, which preceded I Firenze in the broadcast.

Saturday night on Swedish Radio P2:
In Florence by Helena Munktell
Helena Munktell became the first woman to have an opera performed in Sweden in 1889. Here it is brought back to life in a concert performance with the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra from 2017.

In Florence is the first opera by a Swedish female composer who was recorded at the Royal Opera. A few years after the performance, it was performed at a semi-private event in Paris, and also received praise there in the press. Nevertheless, Florence remained unplayed for about 125 years, from the 1890s until 2017. The play is a simple triangle drama, and the work is sometimes referred to as an operetta, because it has spoken dialogue.

Here the score is brought to life, and the charming and time-honored little opera can once again be heard in a concert performance in the Berwald Hall.
