Schmidt: Brass Concertos

Aalborg Symphony Orchestra;
Bellincampi, Giordano

6.220702

As pianist, conductor and composer, Ole Schmidt (1928-2010) was one of the great polymaths of the Nordic musical world. His music was influenced by Bartók, Stravinsky and the French school and is underpinned by a certain Nordic clarity. It combines rhythmic energy, high concentration, elemental expressivity and deadpan humour. Schmidt's experience on the podium gave him an inside track on the working of the orchestra, and his pragmatism and refinement are evident in his larger scores, including the three momentous concertos on this album.

The album is recorded by Aalborg Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Giordano Bellincampi with brass solists of the Berliner Philharmoniker: Stefan Dohr (French horn), Gábor Tarkövi (trumpet), Jesper Busk Sørensen (trombone) and Jens Bjørn-Larsen (tuba).
