Born in 1972, Albert Schnelzer belongs to the most widely noticed Scandinavian composers of his generation. He has written in all genres, and the present album includes a concerto as well as both orchestral and chamber works. Schnelzer's orchestral output has attracted great attention, with A Freak in Burbank belonging to his most often heard works. Inspired by Haydn as well as by the filmmaker Tim Burton, it has been played more than 70 times to date, in venues such as the Berlin Philharmonie, the Amsterdam Concertgebouw and the Royal Albert Hall. It here appears on album for the first time, performed by the Västerås Sinfonietta conducted by Simon Crawford-Phillips. The same team has also made the premiere recordings of two other works: Burn My Letters - a commission for Clara Schumann's 200th anniversary - and the violin concerto 'Nocturnal Songs', composed for Ilya Gringolts. Interspersed with these are three chamber works - Dance with the Devil, Apollonian Dances and Frozen Landscape - performed by some of Sweden's foremost instrumentalists.
