About this product

The challenge of the Etude has intrigued and inspired composers from Bach and Chopin on can music designed to improve technique hold it's own aesthetic value? Pianist Christina Bjørkøe has an inspired answer to that question. She commissioned a set of three animal etudes from twelve composers and here presents the charming, evocative and very useful musical menagerie that resulted. From flea to hippo, beginner to professional, there is something for everyone. The pianist Christina Bjørkøe is one of Denmark's leading musicians. She performs solo, as a chamber musician and as a soloist with the Danish symphony orchestras. She is also an associate professor at the Danish National Academy of Music. Among the numerous awards Christina Bjørkøe has received are the Victor Borges Award, the Carl Nielsen Travel Scholarship and the Gladsaxe Music Prize. In 2005 she won the DR P2 Prize for her recording of Knudåge Riisager's piano works. She received the same award in 2009 for her complete recording of Carl Nielsen's piano works. Album Tracks 1.

Saint-Saëns composed many original works for the violin. He also took the art of arrangement to new heights of refinement, believing his transcriptions were independent of their models, following the precedent of composers such as Liszt. This album presents early or alternative duo versions of some of Saint-Saëns's most popular works, in which the declamatory style of the originals - such as the ever-popular Danse macabre or the habanera-infused Havanaise-is made more intimate and subtle. Composed for the exclusive use of Queen Elisabeth of Belgium in 1918, the Airde Dalila here receives it's world premiere recording. Album Tracks 1. Danse Macabre, Op. 40 (1874, Arr. 1877) 2. Jota Aragonese, Op. 64 (1880) 3. Le Déluge, Op. 45 - Prélude (1875) 4. Havanaise in E Major, Op. 83 (1887) 5. Introduction Et Rondo Capriccioso in a Minor (1863) (Arr. 1870) 6. Prière, Op. 158Bis (1920) 7. Caprice Andalou, Op. 122 (1904) 8. Air de Dalila (1918) (Samson Et Delila, Op. 47 - Act I Printemps Qui Commence [1877]) 9. Caprice D'après L'étude en Forme de Valse (1901) (Arr. from Inch6 Études, Op. 52 - No. 6. en Forme de Valse [1877])
