  • Description

    Dirk Brossé, an internationally acclaimed conductor and award winning composer, is currently Music Director of the Chamber Orchestra of Philadelphia, and Music Director of the Ghent Film Festival. He has guest-conducted many top orchestras all over the world including the London Symphony Orchestra, London Philharmonic and Royal Philharmonic orchestras.

    Maestro Brossé is also a highly-regarded, award-winning composer, whose body of some 400 works includes concerti, oratorios, lieder, chamber music and symphonic pieces, as well as scores for cinema, television and stage, such as the Emmy-nominated score for the BBC/HBO series, Parade’s End.

    Friends since their years at the Ghent Conservatory, Dirk Brossé and conductor on this recording Dirk Van de Moortel have often had the opportunity to work together through the Belgian National Orchestra.

    It was by dint of programming works by Dirk Brossé during Young Belgian Strings concerts that the idea germinated to associate and produce an album exclusively with works by the Maestro.

    This new recording, 'Music for Strings' contains compositions for string orchestra as well as compositions for soloist and string orchestra, some of which are Premiere Recordings. It is also quite natural that the conductor and composer called on internationally renowned Belgian artists such as Lorenzo Gatto, Marie Hallynck, Ana Naqe and Frank Debruyne.
