Hear and Now: Hans Abrahamsen

BBCSSO

The BBC SSO celebrates the music of Danish composer Hans Abrahamsen with a concert for BBC Radio 3’s Hear and Now which features two UK premieres. Originally considered part of the Danish New Simplicity movement which was a reaction to 1960s Modernism, Abrahamsen’s music exhibits imagination, moving lyricism and spirituality.

In this concert the Danish String Quartet performs the composer’s First String Quartet and later, to close the evening, the BBC SSO plays a re-working of the same piece in Ten Sinfonias. Sisters Baiba and Lauma Skride give the UK Premiere of the Double Concerto written for them, and, as a complete contrast, there’s a performance of Abrahamsen’s beautiful arrangement for orchestra of Debussy’s suite for piano, Children’s Corner.

To be recorded for future broadcast on BBC Radio 3.
