- The Minne concerto was only supposed to be written in Ansgar Krook's memory, but the composer decided to add two more movements in the memories of Liselotte Sandén and Ronny Olsson.
- There is something special about the character and temperament of Scandinavian music - the fragrance of long, bright Midsummer nights; dark, crisp autumns; grim winters; and the returning warmth and life of spring. Something that moves deep in the minds of the Nordic peoples and has left its mark on generations of composers, musicians and - conductors. I grew up with the Scandinavian musical tradition, and count many Scandinavian composers and musicians among my personal friends... Northern magic is the genuine foundation of my life and work.
