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 John Coltrane Coltrane Jazz | Jazz Workshop | Miscellaneous Released 9th December 2009 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders John Coltrane Coltrane £18.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Jazz Workshop SKU: JW012 Formats: Miscellaneous Released Date: 9th December 2009 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Nina Simone I Put A Spell On You (Acoustic Sounds Series) Jazz | Philips | 180g, 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 13th November 2020 £45.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nina Simone I Put A Spell On You (Acoustic Sounds Series) £45.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Philips SKU: 0727465 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 13th November 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Bill Evans Some Other Time: The Lost Session from the Black Forest Jazz | 2xHD | 200g, 2LP Released 9th December 2022 £106.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Bill Evans Some Other Time: The Lost Session from the Black Forest £106.00 Genre: Jazz Label: 2xHD SKU: 2HDLP1044-45 Formats: 200g, 2LP Released Date: 9th December 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Sabu Martinez Safari With Sabu Jazz | So Far Out | 180g, 1LP Released 10th June 2013 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Sabu Martinez Safari With Sabu £19.00 Genre: Jazz Label: So Far Out SKU: OUT5005LP Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 10th June 2013 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Charles Tolliver Music Inc Live At Slug’s Volume 2 Jazz | Pure Pleasure | 180g, 1LP Released 9th September 2022 £34.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Charles Tolliver Music Inc Live At Slug’s Volume 2 £34.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Pure Pleasure SKU: SES-19720 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 9th September 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Dave Brubeck Quartet Time Out Jazz | Ermitage | 180g, 1LP Released 10th March 2016 £10.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Dave Brubeck Quartet Time Out £10.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Ermitage SKU: VNL12206PMI Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 10th March 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Dizzy Gillespie Reunion Big Band Live In Berlin Jazz Club Jazz | MPS | 180g, 1LP Released 31st October 2016 £35.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Dizzy Gillespie Reunion Big Band Live In Berlin Jazz Club £35.00 Genre: Jazz Label: MPS SKU: 0211546MSW Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 31st October 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Avishai Cohen and Yonathan Avishai Playing The Room Jazz | ECM | 1LP Released 6th September 2019 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Avishai Cohen and Yonathan Avishai Playing The Room £17.00 Genre: Jazz Label: ECM SKU: 7785725 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 6th September 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View John Scofield John Scofield Jazz | ECM | 1LP Released 18th November 2022 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders John Scofield John Scofield £22.00 Genre: Jazz Label: ECM SKU: 4534387 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 18th November 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Seth MacFarlane Blue Skies Jazz | Blue Note | 1LP Released 20th May 2022 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Seth MacFarlane Blue Skies £20.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Blue Note SKU: 4519615 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 20th May 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Jazz Start again
