Intermezzo – music by Trygve Madsen + double CD release

Welcome to a concert with works by the colourful and humourous composer Trygve Madsen. Audiences will hear pieces written during his teenage years, throughout a long life as a musician and until today. The programme offers romances, variations, preludes, movements from sonatas and much more. All audiences will be gifted a double celebratory CD containing some of the best music from 58 previous records and live performances, featuring some of the world's leading musicians. The selection reflects that Trygve chose the piano as his companion early on, but you will also find music for horn, oboe, saxophones, voice, tuba, guitar, organ, trumpet, clarinet and symphonic music.
