There’s nothing to match the colours of a woodwind ensemble – put four terrific wind players together and it’s like opening a musical paintbox! Four of the Orchestra’s own woodwind superstars travel from swinging London to the jungles of Brazil in this joyous recital.

Meet the Aalborg Symphony Orchestra's musicians in smaller ensembles when they play works they have chosen themselves because they are close to their hearts.



Throughout his all-too-short life, Mozart had great joy and fascination with the singing and musical qualities of the woodwinds. He composed a multitude of works which stage the qualities of the woodwinds in the most beautiful way, and at the same time you sense Mozart's great insight into the enormous development that took place with woodwinds in the period. The clarinet and basset horn were new instruments that immediately caught Mozart's attention.

Renowned Polish composer Alexandre Tansman fled Europe for the United States in 1941, and his rhythmic Polish Rhapsody—inspired by the invasion of Poland and dedicated “to the defenders of Warsaw”—was premiered in St. Louis that same year. Prolific composer Josef Tal emigrated to Jerusalem in 1934, and his dramatic Exodus, based on the Passover Haggadah, was debuted by the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra during the first days of that country’s War of Independence. Walter Kaufmann was one of many Jewish refugees who found a haven in India, where he lived for 14 years and wrote his Indian Symphony. Viennese composer Marcel Rubin fled first to France and then to Mexico, which is where he wrote his melancholy Symphony No. 4, Dies irae, reflecting his experiences during the Second World War.
