Steingrímur Rohloff: Concerto Grosso (interview)

Steingrímur Rohloff has written a new Concerto Grosso for hornist Stefan Dohr, trombonist Jesper Busk Sørensen, trumpeter Gäbor Tarkövi and tuba player Jens Bjørn-Larsen.

The Concerto Grosso was designed to unite all four distinguished soloists in a single work, resulting in what is thought to be the first concertante work of its specification. Loosely speaking, each solo instrument gets a movement to itself in Rohloff’s score but within the flexible tradition of the ‘concerto grosso’, whereby dialogue between all solo instruments – and the ‘tutti’ ensemble – pervades the whole work.
