The Norwegian Radio Orchestra is proud to announce the release of Herman Vogt: Cello and Piano Concerto, a showcase of contemporary Norwegian composition at its finest. This album, featuring two striking works by composer Herman Vogt, highlights his intricate interplay of soloist and orchestra, offering listeners an immersive musical experience.

The Cello Concerto, performed by cellist Audun Sandvik, is a deeply emotive work, rich in tonal exploration and lyrical depth. Vogt’s mastery shines in this piece as he balances the cello’s expressive voice with the dynamic power of the orchestra.

The Piano Concerto, featuring Sveinung Bjelland as the soloist, is equally captivating. This work seamlessly integrates virtuosic piano passages with sweeping orchestral textures, creating a vibrant and intricate soundscape that pushes the boundaries of modern concerto writing.

Both concertos are brought to life under the baton of the esteemed conductor Anna-Maria Helsing, leading the Norwegian Radio Orchestra with precision and sensitivity. The performances capture the essence of Vogt’s artistic vision, presenting music that is at once innovative and profoundly resonant.

Herman Vogt, a celebrated voice in contemporary Norwegian music, has crafted works that resonate with emotional intensity and intellectual depth. This album cements his place as a leading composer in the Nordic contemporary music scene.
