Timo Korhonen (guitar)

Oulu City Orchestra / Santtu-Matias Rouvali

Ondine is proud to present the world premiere recording of two guitar concertos: one by Kimmo Hakola and the other by Toshio Hosokawa. The concertos are performed by Timo Korhonen, the guitarist for whom they were written, and the Oulu City Orchestra conducted by Santtu-Matias Rouvali.

Kimmo Hakola's guitar concerto is a colorful exploration of themes related to medieval and modern southern Spain and North Africa.

Toshio Hosokawa takes a more meditative approach in his search for symbolic universal harmony in his music.

Timo Korhonen is one of the world's most respected guitarists. He has premiered over 40 new works during his career and made several critically acclaimed and award-winning recordings.
