This recording was made to accompaniment the Educate·S educational sheet music series of newly written composition music for children and young people, published by the Danish music publisher Edition·S. With the Educate·S series, leading Danish composers have been invited to write new pieces for children and young people, to introduce pupils with music that embraces the musical horizons and tonal worlds offered by contemporary composers. Here played by Jonathan Siahaan

The music of Jesper Koch (b. 1967) is in a constant and fruitful dialogue with the past. Often melodious with tonal connotations and with a dreamlike quality that seeks to escape from reality in the cello concerto Dreamscapes, feels at home in oases of happiness and nostalgia in the violin concerto Arcadia Lost. And finally, the clarinet concerto Lonesome deals with different aspects of loneliness. The three concertos are presented here in world premiere recordings featuring the soloists they were written for. They, in turn, share a deep connection with the Odense Symphony Orchestra, always close to the composer’s heart.
