What Beskow has attempted seems like a new biographical form because it is done so well. Reading it you feel what you feel what you know Beskow wants you to feel, an appreciation of the places and things Hammarskjold himself appreciated, an impression of the simple elegance of the man's style...
...even at a single point in time, a full picture of the man. It is obvious that Beskow knew Dag Hammarskjold well, but it is equally obvious that there was much he did not know. That is why it is so pleasing to find Beskow never straying form what he knows, and knows well.

Recently, the FCC has begun to question once-automatic license renewals and seriously consider competing applications from would-be broadcasters. Well aware...
Despite their relatively brief collaboration, the quartet displays a seasoned, settled style-almost as if it had been playing together for a decade. Its tone is unfailingly rich and clear; its mastery of the ensemble form is so complete that even when performing with as experienced a musician as Pianist Artur Rubinstein its relative youth as a quartet is not all apparent...
