Karsten Fundal, Christian Winther Christensen & Søren Nils Eichberg: Viola Concertos

This album presents three 21st-century Danish concertos, written for Rafaell Altino. In these works, the viola moves from intimate lyricism to dazzling virtuosity, weaving its way through both tender dialogues and dramatic exchanges with the orchestra. Altino’s masterful playing brings out each composer’s distinctive voice and reveals new facets of the viola, full of energy and warmth, shifting between neo-Romantic hero, indifferent loner and shadowy foil.
