The 大象传媒 SSO celebrates the music of Danish composer Hans Abrahamsen with a concert for 大象传媒 Radio 3鈥檚 Hear and Now which features two UK premieres. Originally considered part of the Danish New Simplicity movement which was a reaction to 1960s Modernism, Abrahamsen鈥檚 music exhibits imagination, moving lyricism and spirituality.
In this concert the Danish String Quartet performs the composer鈥檚 First String Quartet and later, to close the evening, the 大象传媒 SSO plays a re-working of the same piece in Ten Sinfonias. Sisters Baiba and Lauma Skride give the UK Premiere of the Double Concerto written for them, and, as a complete contrast, there鈥檚 a performance of Abrahamsen鈥檚 beautiful arrangement for orchestra of Debussy鈥檚 suite for piano, Children鈥檚 Corner.
To be recorded for future broadcast on 大象传媒 Radio 3.
