Description

The Swiss composer Caspar Diethelm developed a free-tonal, expressive musical language that incorporates the influences of his teachers Paul Hindemith and Arthur Honegger as well as inspirations from Frank Martin, Othmar Schoeck and Béla Bartók. Characteristic are clearly defined orchestral textures, rhythmic energy and an occasionally humorous tone.

The first part of a series of orchestral music by Caspar Diethelm presents three concertos in premiere recordings: "Yggdrasil" for piano and orchestra op. 210 with Patrizio Mazzola, the "Concerto Hiemalis" for clarinet and orchestra op. 211 with Calogero Palermo as well as "Anubis" for violin and orchestra op. 285 with Sibylle Tschopp. The Deutsche Staatsphilharmonie Rheinland-Pfalz and the Moravian Philharmonic Orchestra perform under the direction of Rainer Held.
