“Spanish composer Joan Albert Amargos has stepped up to the plate and hit a home run with his Northern Concerto (2005), it is dramatic, bold and exciting with plenty of appealing, even lush, musical passages…” – AllMusic Guide

“Joan Albert Amargós' three-movement Northern Concerto provides the recorder with limber, jazzy melodies that effortlessly float in, around, and above an orchestral canvas that allows all participants to shine, collectively and
individually. .. Don’t miss this stunning release!” – Classics Today

“Michala Petri is clearly an excellent musician, and the Danish National Symphony is a highly disciplined, competent
ensemble. If you like challenging new music that is not academic, but still brilliantIy conceived, find this!”

– American Record Guide
