Terje MikkelsenAbout
Finn Mortensen (1922-83) was first Professor of composition at the Norwegian Academy of Music, and became the inspiration for a generation of composers, bringing ideas first hand from Darmstadt as well as Stockhausen's masterclasses at Studio für Elektronische Musik.
Very much inspired by the music of Anton Bruckner, Mortensen's early Symphony is a structural masterpiece in a late romantic style, loaded in emotional content. His later compositions became much freer, but in these "neo-serial" works, as represented in the rest of the programme on this disc, melodic and tonal elements play an important part.
The conductor Terje Mikkelsen studied with Mariss Jansons during his many years in Oslo, as well as with Jorma Panula at the Sibelius Academy. He was the first to record Edvard Grieg's Symphony, and has recently released premiere recordings by other Norwegian composers including Svendsen, Halvorsen, Alnæs and Tellefsen.
