About
Peruvian-born, American-trained conductor Miguel Harth-Bedoya, is inspired to look at how music, like the poetic concept of peace, can unite the world. The idea behind Journeys is to create an example of that unity in a tangible form by bringing together music from every continent into one album. With works inspired by myths and mechanics, cosmic motion and human emotion, originating from Europe and the Americas to Africa, Asia and Australasia, the themes in this collection of world premiere recordings range as widely as their origins.

It’s delightful enough that the Peruvian conductor brought South American composers old and new to Scandinavia. But his enthusiasm was hardly limited by personal geography – or by style, as shown by this diverse, energetic and wholly rewarding survey of nine contemporary composers from across five continents.
June 2021
In its all-embracing expansiveness and sense of mankind’s insignificance, [the Zhangyi] places itself right at the heart of Harth-Bedoya’s vision, and is also about the most impressive piece on this disc.
