The Northern Silence: Journeys in Nordic Music and Culture
Andrew Mellor
An essential exploration of Nordic composers & musicians, & the distinctive culture that continues to shape them
Once considered a musical backwater, the Nordic region is now a musical powerhouse. Conductors from Denmark & Finland dominate the British & American orchestral scene. Interest in the old masters Sibelius & Grieg is soaring & progressive pop artists like Björk continue to fascinate as much as they entertain.
Andrew Mellor journeys to the heart of the Nordic cultural psyche. From Reykjavik to Rovaniemi, he examines the success of Nordic music’s performers, the attitude of its audiences, & the sound of its composers past & present—celebrating along the way some of the most remarkable music ever written. Mellor peers into the dark side of the Scandinavian utopia, from xenophobia & alcoholism to parochialism & the twilight of the social democratic dream. Drawing on a range of genres & firsthand encounters, he reveals that our fascination with Nordic societies & our love for Nordic music might be more intertwined than first thought.
