Carl Unander-Scharin’s Hummelhonung has a honey-like scent and liquidity

“Composer Carl Unander-Scharin (of Tokfursten and others) puts [author] Lindgren’s tone to music like a clever interpreter – from one language to another. It is thoughtful, with careful use of pauses, almost hypnotic. The small orchestra gets its special character from the woodwinds and brasses, percussion and cimbalom, which create a fabulous and slightly odd character. The music is exquisitely balanced, like Japanese furniture, or conversations of few words in Västerbotten. A few scales.”
