Accordion Concertos

Danish Bjarke Mogensen is the new star of the accordion in a country where there are already proud accordion traditions. He is simply one of those rare talents who seems to have been born with his instrument, yet continues to aspire further and higher. On this CD Bjarke is accompanied by the Danish National Chamber Orchestra conducted by Rolf Gupta in new Danish accordion concertos by Per Nurgerd, Ole Schmidt, Anders Koppel and Martin Lohse - the last two written specifically for the young soloist. "Bjarke Mogensen is an astonishment on record. Once heard, never forgotten" (The Arts Journal, New York)
