Company in the kitchen

Let the playlist’s tasty pieces of music accompany you by the stove or around the dinner table.

A sandwich can be made in a couple of minutes or prepared to perfection in peace and quiet. In the former case, it can happen to Grieg’s exciting Bergakungen’s hall – but it is important to have time before the increased crescendo! For neat dishes, perhaps Mozart’s most sheer music: the slow movement from the twentyfirst piano concerto, “Elvira Madigan” or the notes of Verdi’s gentle prelude from La Traviata. Choose the main course according to mood, as well as the appropriate music: Carl Nielsen’s Second Symphony “The Four Temperaments” which expresses anger, laziness, melancholy and cheerfulness. Just choose the set!

Let music and food meet in your favorite combination!


An appetizer

On 27 February 2021 we presented the cookbook in a live broadcast on facebook from the Concert Hall’s beautiful Götaplats foyer.

It was a sunny morning with cooking, talking to the book’s photographer and pretalk about the upcoming concert season (in swedish). And of course a couple of wonderful pieces of music with the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra.

The competition mentioned in the video has ended, it took place in facebook’s comment field in connection with the live broadcast.
