The album features a selection of works by notable composers, showcasing a blend of Baroque, Romantic, and 20th-century styles. The program includes Johan Helmich Roman's *Concerto Grosso in B-flat major*, a piece that reflects his adaptation of continental music to Swedish traditions. Jean Sibelius’s *Romance in C major* for strings is a brief yet profound work, filled with Nordic warmth and subtle complexity. Lars-Erik Larsson's *Little Serenade* offers a neoclassical charm, free from heavy Romantic influence, while Einojuhani Rautavaara’s *The Fiddlers* explores Finnish folk themes through vivid, characterful miniatures. The album is performed by Musica Vitae, conducted by Wojciech Rajski, with oboist Helén Jahren.
