Musical Interlude: Listened to a composer I was unfamiliar with today, and liked him a lot. Norwegian Christian Sinding is often viewed as the successor to Edvard Grieg, but I enjoy him more. His reputation in Norway suffered because he was supposed to be a member of the Nazi party, but it turns out he was suffering from dementia at the time (he died in 1941) and was being used and manipulated for the sake of PR. Before the onset of dementia he'd been an opponent of the Nazis and had fought for the rights of Jewish musicians. These days he's being rediscovered and his reputation rehabilitated.

"Symphony No.1," composed by Christian Sinding, performed by the NDR Radiophilharmonie Hannover.
