About
Bo Holten is Denmark’s most prolific composer of lyric theatre and an internationally renowned conductor. This newly-recorded retrospective includes three of his most cherished concert works: a charismatic concert opera based on Hans Christian Andersen’s The Emperor’s New Clothes, a touching song cycle to evocative poetry by Sophus Claussen and an oboe concerto inspired by the instrument’s unique lyrical capabilities. All three reveal Holten’s characteristic combination of wit and profundity, all the more so under his own musical direction.

Awards and reviews
July/August 2021
[Songs of Dusk] The singing of Christine Nonbo Andersen is very enjoyable, given her pure vocal quality and dead-on accuracy in intonation. Bassoonist Morten Østergaard also plays beautifully and expressively in his lovely lines. This is indeed a memorable and persuasive work, one that will reward repeated hearings.
