{"product_id":"6220674-territorial-songs","title":"Territorial Songs","description":"Territorial Songs features 2 World Premiere Recordings on this album of works for recorder composed by Sunleif Rasmussen. The music is performed by Michala Petri on Recorder with the Esbjerg Ensemble, Danish National Vocal Ensemble (DR Vokalensemblet) directed by Stephen Layton, Lapland Chamber Orchestra conducted by Clemens Schuldt, and the Aalborg Symphony Orchestra (Aalborg Symfoniorkester) conducted by Henrik Vagn Christensen.\r\n\r\nSince his emergence on the musical scene in 2002 when his Symphony No. 1, “Oceanic Days” was the winner of The Nordic Council Music Prize, Faroese composer Sunleif Rasmussen has continued to make a name for himself and his island home on the world music scene. Among his many striking compositions is a growing corpus of works featuring the recorder. Beginning with his expansive concerto for recorders and large orchestra, Territorial Songs (2008-09), Rasmussen sought to expand the instrument’s persona and possibilities, freeing it from its historic associations with the music of the Renaissance and Baroque, pushing it into new territories. In this mission, the composer has been exceptionally fortunate to have as muse and musical partner one of the greatest recorder players ever, Michala Petri.\r\n\r\nThe current project represents an overview of works composed from 2009 to 2020. All are scores featuring the recorder: as concerto soloist with a symphony orchestra, (Territorial Songs), a string ensemble (Winter Echoes), an obbligato in a complex choral setting (“I”), chamber music (Flow), and unaccompanied (Sorrow and Joy Fantasy), each work a milestone in Rasmussen’s musical development.\r\n\r\nAs always, Michala Petri brings each score to life with consummate artistry and is perfectly matched by each of the ensembles performing with her. The entire package is recorded and mastered in Stereo DXD.\r\n\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eMichala Petri - Recorder\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eEsbjerg Ensemble\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eDanish National Vocal Ensemble (DR Vokalensemblet) directed by Stephen Layton\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eLapland Chamber Orchestra conducted by Clemens Schuldt\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eAalborg Symphony Orchestra (Aalborg Symfoniorkester) conducted by Henrik Vagn Christensen\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\r\n[embed]https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=0oTHPNtlqs8[\/embed]\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"ms-editor-squiggler\" style=\"color: initial;
