Hilding Rosenberg is considered the first modernist composer in Sweden, and composed, among other things, seven symphonies, seven operas, and seven ballets. He was the son of a gardener and able to study at the Royal College of Music thanks to a scholarship. He took private lessons from Wilhelm Stenhammar.
This is the ballet "
Orpeus in Town" (I´m not sure why the film is numbered 1/2, it seems to be the whole ballet), inspired by
the Orpeus statue by Carl Milles that stands in front of Stockholm Concert Hall.
