This is a Première – for Antje Weithaas. Her first orchestral recording with two of the “big” solo concertos. And obviously also the realization of one of her top dreams and wishes; the combination of her two favourite concertos. At the time of the recording (2012) Steven Sloane was still Music Director of the Stavanger Sympfoniorkester.

As far as Weithaas is concerned, both of these concertos are “celestial music, difficult to describe in words. This music allows us to delve so deeply into the composer’s soul.” She pauses for a moment: “Also into mine.” (Excerpt from the booklet’s liner notes by Cornelia de Reese)
