One of the most important figures of Swedish modernism, Moses Pergament was a composer and music critic who largely made his mark in Nordic countries. Pergament’s output includes music for orchestra, choral works, chamber music, and even film scores. Henry Fogel samples some of the composer’s works from various eras.
