Erik Heide (violin), Lars Anders Tomter (viola); Norrkoping SO, Dima Slobodeniouk
Dacapo 6.220599 (hybrid SACD)
A valuable collection of three very different, inventive works from the maverick Danish master, the disc begins in knock-your-socks-off fashion with the arresting opening of the viola concerto, played with a winning mix of glorious tone and swagger by Tomter and the excellent Norrkoping players. The second violin concerto is a little more elusive, but no less rewarding; and the disc sees not only the premiere recording but also the premiere performance of the 19-year-old Holmboe's Concerto for Orchestra. Curious listeners fond of Tippett's soundworld will find much to enjoy here, especially when the disc is so well recorded.
