Rudersdal Chamber Players - Love and Loss (2025) [Official Digital Download 24/192]

Rudersdal Chamber Players is one of the Nordic region’s leading ensembles for contemporary music, and it is a great pleasure that OUR Recordings is releasing this important album.
Elena Firsova and Dmitri Smirnov are internationally acclaimed composers. Born in the Soviet Union, they faced severe restrictions that made it nearly impossible for their works to be performed, which ultimately led them to leave the USSR and settle in London.
Their catalogue is extensive and includes commissions and performances by, among others, the BBC Symphony Orchestra, London Sinfonietta, RSNO – Royal Scottish National Orchestra, Gidon Kremer / Kremerata Baltica, Ensemble InterContemporain (Paris), Ensemble Modern (Germany), Birmingham Contemporary Music Group, The Hallé Orchestra, and BBC Proms.
I will now let violinist and founder of Rudersdal Chamber Players, Christine Pryn, introduce the album.
