Various - Bo Holton: The Emperor's New Clothes

Bo Holten is Denmark�s most prolific composer of lyric theatre and an internationally renowned conductor. This newly-recorded retrospective includes three of his most cherished concert works: a charismatic concert opera based on Hans Christian Andersen�s�The Emperor�s New Clothes, a touching song cycle to evocative poetry by Sophus Claussen and an oboe concerto inspired by the instrument�s unique lyrical capabilities. All three reveal Holten�s characteristic combination of wit and profundity, all the more so under his own musical direction.� ��
