Danish Radio has announced the 2024 P2 “De 5 bedste” Prize for their Five Best Albums of the Year, and we are thrilled to share that Ekkozone‘s Roger Reynolds Wind Concertos album with the Esbjerg Ensemble, Jacqueline Leclair, Kerstin Thiele, and Mathias Reumert was selected as one of the winning albums!
Roger Reynolds: Wind Concertos
In their announcement for the prize, the P2 jury announced:
“It is rare to come across an album that contains music from an international living cult composer that is so expertly played by one of Denmark’s regular chamber music ensembles. Roger Reynolds writes unique music with his own identity, and the Esbjerg Ensemble captures it in performances that feel ‘marinated’ in the composer’s style. Incredibly good sound, impressive performances from the ensemble’s own soloists, and an album we have been drawn back to again and again during the judging period.”
