He is far too classy and refined a musician to indulge in superficial virtuosic display. Danielsson’s well honed, naturally lyrical improvisational lines remain at the service of the flow of the music, something particularly noticeable when he steps forward and takes on the role of soloist. These core traits are also there in his extensive and much-praised work as arranger, composer and bandleader. Classical music and jazz are the two determining poles of Danielsson’s musical career. He says – with a smile – that “the question whether I am a jazz musician would be answered with a ‘yes’ from the musicians in the orchestra… but if I were to ask Wynton Marsalis, it would probably be a ‘no’.” Danielsson feels comfortable in the space between classical music and jazz. His first music teacher was a church organist, and the folklore of his native Sweden has also been ever-present in his musical identity. As a young cellist, he played a lot in orchestras. With his double album, ‘Symphonized’, Lars Danielsson is now fulfilling a dream. Some of the musicians of the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra were his contemporaries at the conservatoire. In 2008, he recorded his own music with this orchestra for the first time. In 2017 the orchestra’s coranglais (English horn) player Björn Bohlin was allowed to pick a composer to write for the orchestra, and he commissioned Danielsson: 2018 they played the ‘Concerto for English Horn and Contrabass’ live for the first time, then in 2019 the recording took place, this time with Carolina Grinne as soloist on English horn and oboe. Two years later, the opportunity arose to record extra material at the same location. The classical jazz connection is of course, fraught with danger, something of which Lars Danielsson is very aware. This awareness is precisely what makes the ‘Symphonized’ recordings so effective, because he writes for orchestral musicians in the way they are used to, it doesn’t cross his mind to ask them to play jazz. “I hope to know my way around their instruments well enough to be able to write for them in a way that sounds the best possible.” A cinematic wide- screen music has emerged, with echoes of Claus Ogermann, Nino Rota or Ennio Morricone, perhaps. And from there it is not too far to thoughts of Maurice Ravel, to whom Claude Debussy once said: “Pleasure is the law.” Artist Lars Danielsson Genre Jazz Label ACT Buying Options 2LP Format 2LP Condition New Country UK Track Listings LP1 ‘Liberetto Symphonized’ Liberetto Passacaglia Africa Sacred Mind Lviv Nikita‘s Dream The Fifth Grade Yes to You LP2 ‘Double Concerto for English Horn / Oboe D ́Amore, Contrabass / Cello and Orchestra’ I Affettuoso II Elegi Intermedium III Le Bagatelle IV Scherzo Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Jazz View Product Quick View Youn Sun Nah Voyage Jazz | ACT | 180g, 2LP, Includes Download Code Released 4th April 2016 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Youn Sun Nah Voyage £23.00 Genre: Jazz Label: ACT SKU: ACT90191 Formats: 180g, 2LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 4th April 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Leon Thomas Spirits Known And Unknown Jazz | Pure Pleasure | 180g, 1LP Released 20th February 2020 £34.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Leon Thomas Spirits Known And Unknown £34.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Pure Pleasure SKU: PPAN FDS-115 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 20th February 2020 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View John Abercrombie Quartet Up And Coming Jazz | ECM | 180g, 1LP Released 13th January 2017 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders John Abercrombie Quartet Up And Coming £21.00 Genre: Jazz Label: ECM SKU: 5726238 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 13th January 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Aretha Franklin Yeah!!
