Alan Gilbert and the NY Philharmonic To Release New Album of Works by Magnus Lindberg
By: Kelsey Denette Apr. 01, 2013
A new album of recordings of world premieres by Finnish composer Magnus Lindberg, written for and performed by Music Director Alan Gilbert and the New York Philharmonic, will be released on May 28 by Dacapo Records - the same label also releasing the Philharmonic's critically-acclaimed cycle of the complete symphonies and concertos of Carl Nielsen. The works, all premiered during Mr. Lindberg's tenure as The Marie-Josée Kravis Composer-in-Residence with the New York Philharmonic from 2009-2012, represent the composer's longstanding relationship with the Orchestra.
The album, now available for pre-order on Amazon, includes EXPO, Piano Concerto No. 2 with Yefim Bronfman, and Al largo. It will be distributed in the U.S. by the Naxos group.Videos
