A Joker´s Tales (En gycklares berättelser). Concerto for Recorder and Orchestra

Daniel Börtz's concerto for recorder and orchestra came about as a commission from the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra. Symphonic expansiveness and lyrical intimacy exist side by side throughout the work. The entrance and departure of the solo instrument have given the concerto its name.
Music Web International: 'BIS have a justified reputation for producing desirable discs, and with this new CD of high quality, substantial and original new music they have certainly done themselves no disservice. Dan Laurin's message that the recorder can hold its own in orchestral works is amply proven'; Klassik Heute 10/10/10, highest rating.
