The Royal Danish Orchestra’s performing history stretches back to 1448, making it the oldest orchestra in the world, with Carl Nielsen counted amongst its distinguished former members. His 16 years of experience as one of the orchestra’s second violinists helped shape him as a composer, and it was this ensemble that introduced his symphonies to the world. From the ‘imminent storm of genius’ of the First Symphony to the disarming outlandishness of the Sixth, Nielsen’s symphonies are recognised as among the greatest in their genre, heard here in recordings made with a league of conductors whose bond with Denmark and Nielsen’s music is second to none.

This release is an important milestone in the collaboration between the Finnish composer and pianist Olli Mustonen and the Norwegian string quartet Engegård Quartet.

In the middle of a burning pandemic, in that little space in the autumn of 2020 when Sweden’s government allowed concerts for a small audience, three musicians got together and gave the starving audience two evenings of pure, authentic live music. Standards, originals and some nice tunes from the American pop and folk icons of the 70s make up the repertoire. The first LIVE album from the legendary club Unity Jazz in Gothenburg, Sweden.

Bent Sørensens (b. 1958) distinctive music thrives on the intangible, from atmospheres and feelings to memories and dreams. This recording assembles three recent concertos from the GrawemeyerAward-winning composer performed by distinguished Nordic soloists, beginning with a second piano concerto played by its dedicatee and inspiration, Leif Ove Andsnes. Sørensensclarinet concerto for Martin Fröstis inspired by the scents of Spanish poetry, while his trumpet concerto for Tine Thing Helsethfeeds of his constant obsession with the beauty and vulnerability of Venice. Each is highly evocative and filled with Sørensens own etched beauty.

This is a collection of three other roio's; A69, BoT72 and WTtM (see Xref). It sounds like this one is copyied from those three mentioned (from The Swingin' Pig label) as they have no tape hiss at all. Only drawback is that the high notes are slightly wobbeling from time to time, thus making it a little less good than the ones from TSP. But then, it was close to half the price asked for the three seperate ones. Timing on cover is slightly incorrect, but it's only a couple of seconds +/-, except for those noted in track list. Set 1: Has some tracks that not often shows up on roio's, like 'Biding My Time' (PF doing Jazz) which is a great tune. A lot of very nice improvisations between the songs. Gilmour's voice isn't at the best during this show, which is very evident on 'The Narrow Way' where he is completly out of tune and can't reach the high notes. Set 2: A great 'early' performance of DSotM. It have's the 'On The Run' jam, 'Time' is the slow version and TGGItS has the preachers tapes. 'Time' and 'Us And Them' is cut down, and Eclipse is faded out a little early. Set 3: Again a great performance, from 2 July 77 in New York. Rick Wrigth does a fantastic job on this show, he has some very good synth and piano solos at respectively WTtM and WYWH. -TOR
