Details | Sudden Landscapes was planned as an organ concerto, but evolved to something more like a large-scale symphonic painting where the organ and the orchestra continuously exchange sounds and blend in different ways. The piece is conceived as an uninterrupted series of 30 scenes. --- This piece was originally scheduled to be premiered in 2014. On March 2014, Part 1 was performed, as the whole piece was not finished. Christian Vasquez conducted Stavanger Symphony Orchestra, and Nils Henrik Asheim played the organ part. This Part 1 no longer exists as a separate piece, as it is replaced by the work in full length. |
