He is far too classy and refined a musician to indulge in superficial virtuosic display. Danielsson’s well honed, naturally lyrical improvisational lines remain at the service of the flow of the music, something particularly noticeable when he steps forward and takes on the role of soloist. These core traits are also there in his extensive and much-praised work as arranger, composer and bandleader. Classical music and jazz are the two determining poles of Danielsson’s musical career. He says – with a smile – that “the question whether I am a jazz musician would be answered with a ‘yes’ from the musicians in the orchestra… but if I were to ask Wynton Marsalis, it would probably be a ‘no’.” Danielsson feels comfortable in the space between classical music and jazz. His first music teacher was a church organist, and the folklore of his native Sweden has also been ever-present in his musical identity. As a young cellist, he played a lot in orchestras. With his double album, ‘Symphonized’, Lars Danielsson is now fulfilling a dream. Some of the musicians of the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra were his contemporaries at the conservatoire. In 2008, he recorded his own music with this orchestra for the first time. In 2017 the orchestra’s coranglais (English horn) player Björn Bohlin was allowed to pick a composer to write for the orchestra, and he commissioned Danielsson: 2018 they played the ‘Concerto for English Horn and Contrabass’ live for the first time, then in 2019 the recording took place, this time with Carolina Grinne as soloist on English horn and oboe. Two years later, the opportunity arose to record extra material at the same location. The classical jazz connection is of course, fraught with danger, something of which Lars Danielsson is very aware. This awareness is precisely what makes the ‘Symphonized’ recordings so effective, because he writes for orchestral musicians in the way they are used to, it doesn’t cross his mind to ask them to play jazz. “I hope to know my way around their instruments well enough to be able to write for them in a way that sounds the best possible.” A cinematic wide- screen music has emerged, with echoes of Claus Ogermann, Nino Rota or Ennio Morricone, perhaps. And from there it is not too far to thoughts of Maurice Ravel, to whom Claude Debussy once said: “Pleasure is the law.” Artist Lars Danielsson Genre Jazz Label ACT Buying Options 2LP Format 2LP Condition New Country UK Track Listings LP1 ‘Liberetto Symphonized’ Liberetto Passacaglia Africa Sacred Mind Lviv Nikita‘s Dream The Fifth Grade Yes to You LP2 ‘Double Concerto for English Horn / Oboe D ́Amore, Contrabass / Cello and Orchestra’ I Affettuoso II Elegi Intermedium III Le Bagatelle IV Scherzo Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Jazz View Product Quick View Charles Lloyd Quartet The Flowering Jazz | Speakers Corner | 180g, 1LP Released 20th February 2020 £39.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Charles Lloyd Quartet The Flowering £39.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Speakers Corner SKU: SD 1586 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 20th February 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Thelonious Monk Something in Blue Jazz | Pure Pleasure | 180g, 1LP Released 24th November 2009 £34.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Thelonious Monk Something in Blue £34.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Pure Pleasure SKU: BLPP30119 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 24th November 2009 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Various Compendium Records Comp (1974-77) Jazz | Plastic Strip Press | 2LP Released 18th December 2010 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Various Compendium Records Comp (1974-77) £19.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Plastic Strip Press SKU: PSPLP718 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 18th December 2010 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Prestige All Stars, The Tenor Conclave Jazz | Analogue Productions (Prestige) | 180g, 1LP Released 22nd September 2023 £45.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Prestige All Stars, The Tenor Conclave £45.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Analogue Productions (Prestige) SKU: APRJ7074 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 22nd September 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Evan Parker Collected Solos Jazz | Otoroku | 4LP, Box Set Released 29th January 2021 £112.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Evan Parker Collected Solos £112.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Otoroku SKU: ROKURE011 Formats: 4LP, Box Set Released Date: 29th January 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Art Pepper New York Album Jazz | Omnivore Recordings | 1LP Released 8th September 2023 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Art Pepper New York Album £19.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Omnivore Recordings SKU: OVLP460 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 8th September 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nearly New View Product Quick View Matthew Herbert Big Band Goodbye Swingtime Electronica | Accidental | 2LP Released 22nd July 2021 £25.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Matthew Herbert Big Band Goodbye Swingtime £25.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Accidental SKU: nn227413 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 22nd July 2021 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Grant Green Quartet Oleo Jazz | Waxtime | 180g, 1LP Released 8th July 2015 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Grant Green Quartet Oleo £17.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Waxtime SKU: LP772013 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 8th July 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Steve Reid Soul Jazz Records Presents Steve Reid: Nova Jazz | Soul Jazz | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released 9th April 2021 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Steve Reid Soul Jazz Records Presents Steve Reid: Nova £23.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Soul Jazz SKU: SJRLP442 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released Date: 9th April 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Theo Croker Quartet Jazz at Berlin Philharmonic XII : Sketches of Miles Jazz | ACT | 2LP Released 2nd September 2022 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Theo Croker Quartet Jazz at Berlin Philharmonic XII : Sketches of Miles £23.00 Genre: Jazz Label: ACT SKU: ACTLP9948-1 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 2nd September 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Jazz Start again
