Released December 2010: "Passione", Telemark Chamber Orchestra, Lars-Erik ter Jung, conductor, Ingrid Andsnes, piano.  On Fabra. Review by Martin Anderson in Norw. Classical Music Magazine: *Haydn* Sinfoni Nr. 49 i f-moll, *La passione*; *Elgar* Serenade for strings, op. 20; *Mozart* Pianoconcerto Nr. 12 in A Major, KV. 414 Fabra FGCD07 (61 minutes) 1 2 3 4 5 *6* www.fabra.no An introduction in the booklet by the conductor Lars-Erik ter Jung explains that ‘These are the pieces we wanted to play’ – to show off the Telemark Kammerorkester, that is – and this disc does the job very nicely: a stylish and spirited account of the Haydn, an Elgar which is sweet without being sentimental and a Mozart with a real sense of narrative purpose. It’s the combination of ter Jung’s brisk tempi and the clarity of the chamber-orchestral textures that give these performances their freshness and allure and – in the Mozart – the pellucid playing of Ingrid Andsnes, who gives ample proof that Leif Ove is not the only fine musician in the Andsnes family. The recording, made only in October 2010, is clear and detailed, and the booklet essay is by none other than Olav Anton Thommessen. The orchestra’s previous CD, *Nostros*, was of contemporary Norwegian music; here’s proof that it can hold its head high in completely central repertoire. |
