Since 1980 he has worked for Danish Radio (DR) as a member of the DR Symphony Orchestra. On several occasions he has performed as a soloist, both with them and with the DR Chamber Orchestra, as well as performing with other orchestras. Nils has given concerts both at home and abroad, including engagements in England, France, Belgium and the Scandinavian countries. He was a member of Den Danske Kvartet, (The Danish Quartet), from 1984 - 1988 and has received amongst other awards the Jacob Gade prize and the Anmelderringens Kunstnerpris, (Critics' Circle Artist's Prize). Nils plays on a cello built by Johannes Gagliano in 1811. It was in 1982 adapted specially for Nils, as he plays left-handed. Mimi Birkelund began playing the piano at the age of four. She trained at the Danish Royal Academy of Music with Associate Professor Amalie Malling, graduating in 1991, before furthering her studies through soloist classes with Professor Hans Pålsson in Lund, Sweden. Mimi was a finalist in the Nordiska Pianinistkonkurrencen (Nordic Pianist Competition) in 1992 and also at the Festival for Young Soloists in 1993. She made her debut as a soloist with the Danish Radio Chamber Orchestra playing Beethoven's Piano Concerto No 1 in Copenhagen and in Malmö. She has been awarded Denmark's most prestigious scholarship for pianists, the Martha Stuhres Piano-Stipendie. On this release, the duo presents a program of cello works by Brahms and Schumann.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Cello Sonata No. 1 in E Minor, Op. 38~Allegro non troppo \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Cello Sonata No. 1 in E Minor, Op. 38~Allegretto quasi menuetto \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Cello Sonata No. 1 in E Minor, Op. 38~Allegro \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Adagio and Allegro in A flat major, Op. 70~Langsam, mit inniger Ausdruck \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Adagio and Allegro in A flat major, Op. 70~Sehr lebhaft \u003cbr\u003e1.6 5 Stücke im Volkston, Op. 102~Mit Humor - Vanitas vanitatum \u003cbr\u003e1.7 5 Stücke im Volkston, Op. 102~Langsam \u003cbr\u003e1.8 5 Stücke im Volkston, Op. 102~Nicht schnell, mit viel Ton zu spielen \u003cbr\u003e1.9 5 Stücke im Volkston, Op. 102~Nicht zu rasch \u003cbr\u003e1.10 5 Stücke im Volkston, Op. 102~Stark und markiert \u003cbr\u003e1.11 Fantasiestücke, Op. 73~Zart und mit Ausdruck \u003cbr\u003e1.12 Fantasiestücke, Op. 73~Lebhaft, leicht \u003cbr\u003e1.13 Fantasiestücke, Op. 73~Rasch und mit Feuer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAudio Sample:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n                                           \u003ci\u003eAll soundclips are provided by Tidal and are for illustrative purposes only.
