Idel Riedel

Georg Riedel

In the autumn of 2001, Georg Riedel collaborated with Sundsvalls Kammarorkester (Sundvall’s Chamber Orchestra). Riedel’s music was performed by several children’s choirs, orchestra and Georg, himself. Caprice recorded a CD, which set the focus on Georg Riedel’s music and that contains both well-known and lesser-known songs composed by him, and with texts from, among others, Astrid Lindgren, Barbro Lindgren and Lennart Hellsing.

Contributors include: Sundsvalls Kammarorkester, Georg Riedel, Voice Toys and körKILLErs (choirGUYs) from Sundsvall’s Culture School, as well as Barnkammarkören (the Children’s Chamber Choir) from Örnsköldsvik’s Culture School.

The participating children received a chance to meet and sing with a large orchestra, something they will hopefully carry with them throughout their lives. There is also a bonus on the CD; Claes Janson and Linda Pettersson sing several songs.

The concert production, Idel Riedel has toured around the country visiting all of the land’s orchestras, such as Kungliga Filharmoniska orkestern i Stockholm (Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra), Göteborgssymfonikerna (Gothenburg Symphony), Malmö Symfoniorkester (Malmo Symphony Orchestra) and in Karlskoga.
