法格倫德: (石雕)管弦樂曲 漢努．林圖 指揮芬蘭廣播交響樂團 / Eskelinen & Lintu / Fagerlund – Stonework

Sebastian Fagerlund has been described as 'a composer who commandingly bridges tradition and modernity' (Klassik-Heute.de) while his music is 'modern and unorthodox, opulent and strange, masterfully composed and orchestrated' (MusicWeb-International). Previous acclaimed recordings on BIS include the chamber opera Döbeln, as well as orchestral works and concertos for clarinet, violin and bassoon respectively. Another concertante work froms part of the present programme: Transit for guitar and orchestra, written for Ismo Eskelinen who also performs it here. He is partnered by the Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra and Hannu Lintu who have previously championed Fagerlund's music: the orchestra has commissioned several works, including the guitar concerto as well as Drifts, the opening work here. The disc takes its title from the third composition, Stonework, named after those man-made stone structures that are found all over the world, serving a range of purposes, from landmarks and navigational aids to burial monuments.
