About

Conrad Baden (1908-89) began to write music in his 30’s, at first mostly pieces for choir and organ. Baden worked as an organist, first in Drammen and later on in Oslo, but he was also an active music journalist in many Norwegian newspapers all through his life. In 1946 Baden presented his compositions in public, and after a period of studies in Paris in 1950 he decided to focus on chamber music and larger works for orchestra. The Norwegian Society of Composers started a collaboration with the Oslo Philharmonic Orchestra which gave several composers an opportunity to hear their music played, and this gave Baden an unique chance to improve and develop both his form and instrumentation. However, in the 1960’s the national orchestras lost interest in performing Norwegian music. If the composers wanted any chance of getting their music played, the pieces had to be short and concise. Baden wrote Intrada Sinfonica as sort of an overture to a romantic concert program and the piece lasts no more than ten minutes. It was premiered on the Bergen International Music Festival with Karsten Andersen as conductor.

This record shows the great breadth in Baden’s symphonic production. He was inspired by everything from neoclassicism (Concertino for clarinet and strings), Norwegian folk dance rhythms (Concert for piano and orchestra) and twelve-tone technique (Variazioni) through his composing career, but between it all one can sense his warm romantic sound and melodic lines. Baden never stopped looking for the perfect form where he could reflect both himself and the time in which he lived, and the critics honored him for his genuine, personal and expressive works.
