Bjarke Mogensen - Various: Winter Sketches

Bjarke Mogensen is a rising star in his native Denmark, much in demand as soloist, having made his debut aged 13 in a live TV broadcast with the Munich Symphony Orchestra. Concerts for 2011 include a solo recital at Carnegie Hall. The repertoire on this disc is taken from a rich repertoire of accordion music, much of it based on folk music of Russia, and includes Mogensen's own transcriptions for the instrument of works by Tchaikovsky and Mussorgsky.
