Description:

A Collection of Thomasson Works Highlighting Sharon Bezalys VirtuosityHeikur Thomasson (b. 1960) is a leading mid-career composer representing contemporary Iceland. This marks the release of his third collection on BIS. His work is characterized by a highly intellectual style. While only the Flute Concerto No. 2composed for Sharon Bezerleyshares the same recording as BIS 1499, her masterful artistry is also evident in the Flute Concerto No. 1. The concerto featuring two double basses as the main instruments also shines with its ingenious concept.
