Thomas Agerfeldt Olesen’s Violin Concerto (2024) unfolds in a single, 30-minute movement, a journey from lyrical fragility to tempestuous conflict and back to calm. The violin asserts itself in virtuosic cadenzas that probe, challenge, and converse with the orchestra, replacing the spoken interventions of the earlier Piano Sonata. Simone Lasmas, with the Danish National Symphony Orchestra under Olesen specialist Otto Tausk, brings brilliance, intensity and introspection to this compelling new work.
