Glindemann / Holmsted / Bellincampi- Concertos (Hybr) (CD)
Jazz and swing undoubtedly weighed the most in Ib Glindemann's creative life, and few others meant more to big-band and jazz music in Denmark from the 1950s onwards than he. It remains, however, that Denmark's well-known jazz orchestra leader, trumpeter and composer had a classical side. This recording is the first to feature a fully classical Glindemann program: two sublime instrumental concertos and an impressive medley of his music celebrating his distinctive flair for writing happy, undemanding, festive and effective music. The Medley is a gathering of four pieces into a suite, arranged by Glindemann and Wolfgang Käfer. The pieces collected here come from films or from the world of program music, evoking pictures of everyday life in Copenhagen.
Tracklist:
- Trumpet Concerto: I. Allegro Con Brio
- Trumpet Concerto: II. Andante Con Sentimento
- Trumpet Concerto: III. Allegro Spagnuolo
- Trombone Concerto: I. Allegro Giocoso
- Trombone Concerto: II. Adagio Cantabile
- Trombone Concerto: III. Allegro Risoluto
- Medley: Strøget - The Little Mermaid - Adam's Theme - Take Off (Arr. I. Glindemann & W. Käfer For Orchestra)
