Allan Gravgaard Madsen: Nachtmusik / Pelle Gudmundsen-Holmgreen:For Violin And Orchestra

Concertante works from one of Denmark's most iconic composers and one of its freshest new voices. Pelle Gudmundsen-Holmgreen (1932-2016) was the great maverick of contemporary Nordic music until his death in 2016. For Violin and Orchestra ventures into the jungle in classic Gudmundsen-Holmgreen style, leading us to consider our place in a world full of noises. Allan Gravgaard Madsen's (b. 1984) double concerto Nachtmusik takes the opposite route, blossoming outwards from the microscopic examination of a single note. Danish National Symphony Orchestra concertmaster Christina Åstrand brings both works to life, joined by her duo partner Per Salo in Nachtmusik written for them.
