Jabberwocky for accordio solo(1995) - Jesper Koch

CD "Contemporary Works for Accordion" by Paulo Jorge Ferreira
http://pjferreira.com

"Jesper Koch is not an accordionist, but his attraction for the instrument is present in more than one piece of his catalogue. Jabberwocky is one of them. The sense of humour is one of its main features. Paulo Jorge Ferreira gives in his performance the appropriate stylistic approach to it to transmit its capricious character. The title refers to a poem included by Lewis Caroll in Alice Through the Looking Glass, in which the writer uses words of his invention and gives them crazy meanings to narrate the death of a monster named Jabberwock. In the outcome of his piece, Koch transfers to the score the humorous intention of Caroll’s poem. Koch’s ability to control the structure of his music and his extraordinary talent for storytelling through composition are two aspects of his style appreciated in the contemporary music circles in which he moves, especially in Northern European countries."

Jabberwocky - Jesper Koch

In the memory of you...

The Conch & the Chrysanthemum 
- excerpt of movement #8 from You're somehow connected
A 90' piece written for solo accordion, ensemble, electronic composition, field recordings and voices in interviews about dreams for the future.

You're somehow connected reflects our time, culture, dreams about the future and reality based upon what came before us, 
where we are now and what will come in the future. It reflects on how we are all somehow connected.

You’re somehow connected is inspired by August Strindberg’s 'A Dream Play'; an impression of life on planet Earth described by Agnes, the daughter of the Vedic god Indra. The dream play describes aspects of being human through different voices, characters and perspectives in a chaos in which it is complex to navigate, a movement that expands itself in a constant changing environment of dream and reality, the real and the surreal.

Recorded live in Symphonic Hall, Musikhuset, Aarhus, Ocotber 10, 2020.

Cloud Wandering - excerpt of movement #1 from You're somehow connected

Born on the Island of Bornholm, Bjarke Mogensen quickly made a name for himself as an internationally acclaimed accordion virtuoso and as a versatile musician with a keen ear for different styles. At an early age he made his debut as a soloist with the Munich Symphony Orchestra in a German TV broadcast with millions of viewers. Since then an unusual curiosity and search for new sounds and expressions has taken him on musical paths where few other musicians have ventured before as a highly sought-after soloist in the classical music world.

Bjarke Mogensen received a long list of international awards such as the The P2 Radio Chamber Music Competition, The Almere International Chamber Music Competition and The Arts Desk ‘Album of the Year’ (2013). He took 1st prize in the European Broadcast Unions “New Talent” competition in Bratislava and a few years later Mogensen received the Danish Music Critics Artist Prize – all firsts for the accordion.

Already during his student years, Bjarke Mogensen had his solo debut-recital at Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall, New York and performed in European venues such as the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam and Barbican Hall, London. 

He has performed chamber music in duo with among others violinist Gidon Kremer, violist Tatjana Masurenko and cellist Andreas Brantelid. As a soloist he has worked with orchestras such as the Moscow Virtuosi, Kremerata Baltica, Slovak State Philharmonic Orchestra, The Tiroler Symphony Orchestra, the Danish National Symphony Orchestra, Prague Radio Orchestra and The Copenhagen Philharmonic.
Bjarke Mogensen’s repertoire is almost unlimited, with a span ranging from folk music and accordion classics over his own arrangements and transcriptions to brand new works for accordion as well as improvisation. 

A long succession of collaborations with prominent living composers has resulted in over 60 new compositions – concertos, chamber music and solo works – dedicated to Bjarke Mogensen.

A series of his award-winning recordings have been released by the British label Orchid Classics as well as the national Danish record label Dacapo-Records. 

Bjarke Mogensen plays the Mythos Accordion No.5 often described as the Stradivarius of the accordion. He is also among the very few accordionists in the world who plays the quarter tonal accordion, an instrument which was custom made in Italy. Bjarke Mogensen graduated from the soloist class at the Royal Danish Academy of Music, where he now is an associate professor of accordion and chamber music.

Future engagements include the Finnish and Russian premiere of Danish composer Poul Ruders’ accordion concerto Sound and Simplicity. Yet another grand new work for the accordion written for and dedicated to Bjarke Mogensen.
