| Description: | ā??Norwegian saxophoneā?¯ is the first classical album from the versatile artist Ola Asdahl Rokkones, containing three world premiere recordings. Recorded in the legendary LENDOK Studios in Saint Petersburg, together with conductor Fabio Mastrangelo and The St. Petersburg Northern Sinfonia, this is a unique release of new Norwegian music for saxophone and orchestra.
ā??The Tale of Taliesinā?¯ by Martin Romberg (2009), ā??BĆørā?¯ by Torstein Aagaard-Nilsen (2014) and ā??Un rĆŖve NorvĆ©gienā?¯ by Kjell Habbestad (2002/2015) have all been commissioned by Rokkones. Although the composers have been inspired by literary works, the music showcases the classical saxophone in three very different musical surroundings. With the saxophone as a narrator, we explore the ancient Celtic legend about Taliesin in a large orchestral work, the existentialistic poem ā??BĆørā?¯ by Stein Mehren in a contemporary and experimental soundscape, and finally the famous visionary poem ā??Draumkvedetā?¯ where folkloristic elements fuse with a modern classical orchestral treatment.
Following a long and twisted path, this recording is the result of a process that has taken many years ā?? for Rokkones' part almost half a lifetime, as he commissioned the first work in 2001 at the age of 18. - WORKS BY HABBESTAD/AAGAARD-NILSEN/ROMBERG"Norwegian saxophone" is the first classical album from versatile artist Ola Asdahl Rokkones, containing three world premiere recordings.
