Horn Design

Ice music pioneer Terje Isungset from Norway is now releasing his 8th album of Ice music at All Ice Records. This one a live album recorded during concerts in Russia, Germany, Belgium and Norway 2017 & 2018. All instruments are made out of natural frozen water.

Although Ries studied with Beethoven, the concerto's length and overall design recall not so much the concerto of Beethovian stamp but the tradition of the French violin concerto literature a la Rodolphe Kreutzer and Pierre Rode, while also being distinguished by a dramaturgical plan all of its own. Ries is even more richly imaginative in matters of detail in his only composition in the concertante style, the Concerto for Two Natural Horns and Orchestra of 1811. Two highly effective overtures from two of his operas, Die Rauberbraut and Liska, round off this CD program.
