Danish composer Jesper Koch’s breakthrough came early, for at the age of 25 he won first prize at the International Rostrum of Composers in Paris in 1992 with the work Ice-Breaking (1991). Since then, Jesper Koch has assiduously written music in many genres, laying the main emphasis on instrumental music, and he feels particularly at ease with the symphony orchestra. • The music of Jesper Koch (b. 1967) is in a constant and fruitful dialogue with the past. It is melodious and often tonal, often searching themes as nostalgia and lost dream worlds. He leads the way through a fluid blend of fantasy and reality. • This new album contains three concertos presented here in world premiere recordings featuring the soloists they were written for; Michaela Fukacová, cello; John Kruse, clarinet and Eugen Tichindeleanu, violin – accompanied by conductor Justin Brown and Odense Symphony Orchestra, which over the years has been Jesper Koch’s faithful partner.
