'The Four Seasons After Vivaldi' to be celebrated at release concert with Concerto Copenhagen

Concerto Copenhagen is celebrating the recording of Danish composer Karl Aage Rasmussen's The Four Seasons After Vivaldi with a release concert in The Black Diamond (The Royal Library) on Friday 1 November.

Live
28 October 2019

5 hearts was given by the Danish newspaper Politiken to the recording of Karl Aage Rasmussen's The Four Seasons After Vivaldi, recorded by the Baroque orchestra Concert Copenhagen. On Friday 1 November at 20.00 Concerto Copenhagen will perform the work in The Queen's Hall in The Black Diamond (The Royal Library), at a release concert celebrating the recording. 

Karl Aage Rasmussen's reinterpretation of Vivaldi's work builds bridges between cultures and traditions, and sheds new light on the compositions in a conversation between past and present, between classical composition and new discoveries, between composers over time spans. One might listen to Rasmussen's recomposition of the well known work and imagine how Vivaldi's seasons will sound yet 300 years into the future. 

Reception and celebration of the CD-release

Before the concert, General Manager of Concerto Copenhagen Nikolaj de Fine Licht will give a talk about the collaboration with Karl Aage Rasmussen. The concert introduction will take place at 19.00 in the Blixen Hall, and is free on presentation of a concert ticket. There is a limited number of seats. 

After the concert, the release is celebrated with a reception and a glass of wine. The CD can be bought at a special price at the event and can be signed by harpsichordist Lars Ulrik Mortensen and conductor Magnus Fryklund. 

Tickets can be purchased here
