About

Diagonal Music is a great combination of old and new. Britta Byström's (b. 1977) Diagonal Musik and Johannes Brahms's Horn Trio are bound together with Byström's Walk to Brahms.

Diagonal Musik is a composition inspired by the geometric paintings of the Swedish modernist painter Olle Bærtling (1911-1981).

Walk to Brahms was composed for this project. The walk includes short quotations from the Trio and has a walking rhythm, starting from nowhere and dying away at the end as if the music is passing by.

Brahms's Trio for violin, horn and piano is a miraculous and deeply romantic work, warmed by the rich sound of the horn. The Horn Trio is one of the few chamber music compositions by Johannes Brahms in which he uses a wind instrument.

Brahms's Two Songs for alto voice with viola and piano are closing this marvelous release with Malin Broman playing viola and the singing part is played with horn by Christopher Parkes.
