Hans Abrahamsen Schnee Lapland Chamber Orchestra, John Storgårds, conductor DaCapo This is the second recording of Hans Abrahamsen’s Schnee (‘Snow,’ 2008), an hourlong imaginative ensemble work populated by idiosyncratic canons interspersed with intermezzos. The first, by ensemble recherche in 2015, was an excellent document of the piece. That said, this second interpretation is welcome, […]
