Mozart Piano Concertos, Vol. 3. The concept behind our present undertaking, the Mozart Piano Concertos CD trilogy, is to present a range of concertos from Mozart's various compositional and performing periods, styles, techniques and instrumentations. Our endeavour is also linked with an encore-like single work on each CD, namely a Rondo. The additional connecting link between these six piano concertos is the Cadenzas & Lead-ins which Lazic has composed himself. Here he was inspired by the common practice of the composer's day.
Second of three instalments in this Lazic-de Vriend-Bergen Philharmonic unique project. Famous Concertos nos. 21 & 9 are alongside the Rondo K. 382. Once more all candenza and leads-in are inventive creations by Lazic. Fanfare (USA): I find Lazic and de Vriend's K 449 quite exhilarating and rate it an unmitigated success. Classica (FR): In total: a record of quite astonishing eloquence. Luister (NL): Recommended.

The Bergen Philharmonic and Chief Conductor Edward Gardner present Arne Nordheim's "The Tempest" (Suite from the Ballet). Arne Nordheim was Norway’s most significant and respected composer until his death in 2010, and one of the few figures in contemporary western music who proved himself able to move beyond traditional harmonic relationships while maintaining a distinct ability to communicate widely through his striking, physical music.
