Nordgren’s distinctive modernism-meets-folk style is head here in the expert hands of the orchestra that knew him best. The string writing in the Horn Concerto is wonderfully eerie. — BBC Music Magazine, May 2019, 5 out of 5 stars

About

Pehr Henrik Nordgren (1944-2008) is considered by many composer-colleagues, musicians and music experts as one of the leading and most interesting composers of his generation. Works on this recording (Horn Concerto, Violin Concerto Nr 4 and Rock Score) are all recorded before, but now updated to super audio CD with new soloists on ALBA records. The whole league of performers including the orchestra itself are Ostrobothnians, where the composer settled to work too.
