Jakob Bangsø, Tallinn Chamber Orchestra & Kaisa Roose - Corigliano, Caravassilis & Siegel: Guitar Concertos (2020) [Hi-Res]

Award-winning Danish guitarist Jakob Bangsø presents three contemporary guitar concertos: John Coriglianos Troubadours, alongside world-premiere recordings of works inspired by Coriglianos piece and written for Bangsø: Wayne Siegels Chaconne and the Saudade by Constantine Caravassilis. American composer John Coriglianos Troubadours was partly inspired by medieval musicians, and incorporates a theme by the La Comtessa, Beatritz de Dia, into its evocative material. Fellow American Wayne Siegel also draws upon earlier precedents in his Chaconne, collaborating with Jakob Bangsø to create a piece that slowly unfolds and evolves, while Canadian composer Constantine Caravassilis uses Greek folk-music as part of his Saudade, a title that comes from a Portuguese word suggestive of bittersweet memories. Aaron Copland on John Corigliano: One of the most talented composers on the scene today the real thing. His music is individual, imaginative, expertly crafted, and aurally quite stunning.
