Under the Wing of the Rock

2L 2016

Soon-Mi Chung (violin) & Henning Kraggerud (violin)

Oslo Camerata

The album Under the Wing of the Rock embraces music from the British Isles and Norway, composed during the last seventy years. Not surprisingly, the music is a modern musical language and the composers presented here - Benjamin Britten, Sally Beamish, Arne Nordheim, Olav Anton Thommessen and HenningKraggerud - took inspiration from earlier idioms and traditions. The works show Soon-Mi Chung and her instrument in contrasting moods, from the singing, lyrical to the impulsive and tempestuous.
