About

Ondine proudly presents a disc of works by German composer Jörg Widmann. This release features his Violin Concerto (2007), Insel der Sirenen for Violin and 19 Strings (1997) and Antiphon for Orchestral Groups (2007-08).

The acclaimed violinist Christian Tetzlaff, for whom the Violin Concerto was written, plays the solo part in these works and handles their challenges with incredible precision. He considers this Violin Concerto to be one of the greatest contemporary concertos.

Daniel Harding, one of the brightest conductors of his generation, is a frequent guest conductor for the world’s top orchestras. As Music Director of the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra he has helped the orchestra to become one of the most interesting and diverse ensembles of today.

The Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra – one of Europe’s foremost orchestras – collaborates regularly with leading conductors, soloists and composers. Their strong commitment to contemporary music is also reflected in this recording.
