Concertante CD: Latest Review

Seit dem Spätbarock machten ausgefallene instrumentale Klangkombinationen einen besonderen Reiz konzertanter Musik aus; vornehmlich gefiel sich dann die Frühklassik darin, Instrumente mit starker klanglicher Eigenart zu farbenreichen Sologruppen zusammenzustellen.

Concertante CD: Claus Efland conducts pieces by Belloli, Danzi, Lachner and Jadin

Efland conducts Mozart

"Mozart´s music can have an erotic undertone, and this was certainly the case in the performance given by the Aarhus Symphony Orchestra conducted by Claus Efland. Efland is a native of Funen, Denmark, he studied in London and now performs internationally. How enjoyable this Mozart proved to be! Performed with a pared-down orchestra, this provided a transparency which allowed each instrument came to its own right, giving a truly wonderful overall impression. Efland conducted elegantly, with briskness and his interpretation was filled with expression. This provided an intimacy in the ensemble which was at once light and sparkling, as well as narrative and lyrical. This was outstandingly nuanced and playing by Efland and his players". (John Christiansen, www.jc-klassisk.dk)
