Following on from the award

Thorsen, Trondheim Solistene team up once again with the recording
company 2L for their new production. This album features a selection
of some of the finest and most technically challenging repertoire
for string orchestra, and includes repertoire by Benjamin Britten,
the Polish composer Grazyna Bacewicz, the Norwegian composer Terje
Bjørklund as well as Bela Bartok's seminal work for string orchestra
the Divertimento. DIVERTIMENTI is the first music-only recording to
be made available commercially in the ground breaking format of
Blu-ray. A true world premiere!
The divertimento as a musical
genre dates back to the nineteenth century. Divertimenti were
composed for various social occasions and were intended to be light,
uncomplicated and cheerful. Such pieces were often scored for small
string ensemble. Over the years this effortless, elegant form has
appeared in many different musical styles and, to a large extent,
set the standard for the virtuosic chamber music we know today. A
number of the most prominent composers of our age have engaged with
this most fascinating musical style and have contributed to its
further refinement as a chamber-symphonic showpiece.
