Concertos for Cello & Winds

The album presents *Concertos for Cello and Wind Instruments* featuring works by composers Mats Larsson Gothe, Bohuslav Martinů, Jacques Ibert, and Hilding Rosenberg. Performed by cellist Torleif Thedéen and the Östgöta Symphonic Wind Ensemble, the album highlights compositions that explore the blend of wind and cello textures. Gothe’s 1999 concerto, inspired by Witold Lutosławski, combines emotional depth with neoclassical elements. The program spans diverse 20th-century influences, from Stravinsky’s jazz-inspired rhythms to Rosenberg’s theatrical symphony, showcasing the rich timbral possibilities of wind and percussion.
