'Norwegian saxophone' is the first classical album from the versatile artist Ola Asdahl Rokkones, containing three world premiere recordings. Recorded in the legendary LENDOK Studios in Saint Petersburg, together with conductor Fabio Mastrangelo and The St. Petersburg Northern Sinfonia, this is a unique release of new Norwegian music for saxophone and orchestra.\r
\r
'The Tale of Taliesin' by Martin Romberg (2009), 'B\xf8r' by Torstein Aagaard-Nilsen (2014) and 'Un r\xeave Norv\xe9gien' by Kjell Habbestad (2002/2015) have all been commissioned by Rokkones. Although the composers have been inspired by literary works, the music showcases the classical saxophone in three very different musical surroundings. With the saxophone as a narrator, we explore the ancient Celtic legend about Taliesin in a large orchestral work, the existentialistic poem 'B\xf8r' by Stein Mehren in a contemporary and experimental soundscape, and finally the famous visionary poem 'Draumkvedet' where folkloristic elements fuse with a modern classical orchestral treatment. \r
