About

The New York Philharmonic under their Music Director Alan Gilbert start a new series on Dacapo that looks at making premiere recordings of the orchestra’s Composer-in-Residence.

This release includes a stunning collection of works by Magnus LindbergEXPO was the overture to Gilbert’s very first concert as the Philharmonic’s new Music Director and Lindberg’s first season as their Composer-in-Residence in 2009.

Lindberg is one of today’s strongest Nordic composers. His musical language is quite complex but full of vim and verve.

Mr Lindberg writes brilliantly for orchestra and Mr Gilbert and the Philharmonic made the most of it in this glittering virtuosic performance.’ - New York Times on Al largo (2009)

Bronfman, unfazed by the unreasonable cruel technical demands, played the knuckle-busting solos, crashing cadenza and all, with percussive force and boundless energy.’ - Financial Times on Piano Concerto No.2 (2012)
