Danish Bjarke Mogensen (b. 1985) is the new star of the accordion in a country where there are already proud accordion traditions.
On this CD Bjarke is accompanied by the Danish National Chamber Orchestra conducted by Rolf Gupta in new Danish accordion concertos by Per Nørgård, Ole Schmidt, Anders Koppel and Martin Lohse – the last two written specifically for the young soloist.
