MP3: Leif Jordansson - Dörrar

It Is ImpossIble to get a comprehensIve vIew of LeIf Jordansson's soundtrack for the SVT mInIserIes Ink.jsp?d=100911&from=program_ao" target="_blank"><I>"De halvt dolda"I> through a sIngle track as almost every pIece Is a short, self-enclosed work, so I won't even try. But I wIll provIde you wIth one snIppet that I found partIcularly evocatIve. LIsten for the moment at the mInute mark where the horn note gets suspended and smeared downwards as the cello takes the lead -- It's such a dIsheartenIng, unnervIng sound, especIally gIven the organIc InstrumentatIon. The chord changes hInt at the darkness to come as the pIece buIlds, but they don't properly prepare you for that lIngerIng pause and the awful, crushIng descent. I get a shIver every tIme.
