Wallin, Hardenberger & Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra – Manyworlds CD

Description

This special CD Blu-ray Audio Ondine release includes world première recordings of three orchestral works by Norwegian composer Rolf Wallin (b. 1957), among the most exciting contemporary composer figures in Scandinavia, performed by the Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra and Finnish conductor John StorgÃ¥rds. Fisher King, a concertante piece for Trumpet and Orchestra (2011) features one of today’s greatest trumpeters, HÃ¥kan Hardenberger. Composed more than thirty years ago, Id was Mr. Wallin’s first-ever orchestral work. Manyworlds is an extensive, half-hour’s long orchestra work, jointly commissioned by the Bergen, Helsinki and NDR, Hannover orchestras. The title of the work refers to the Many-world theory in quantum physics dealing with a very large, perhaps infinite number of parallel universes. The Blu-ray Audio disc, an Ondine first, also includes a 2D & 3D Video by Boya Bockman based on Manyworlds.
