Three richly imaginative orchestral works by de Raaf, one of the Netherlands' leading contemporary composers Challenge label is proud to present a collection of orchestral works by de Raaf, one of the leading composers of contemporary Dutch music. Included are the piano concerto "Kirkurs (Circles)," which focuses on the theme of cyclical time, "The Descent of Orpheus," which describes a descent that never returns, and the violin concerto "North Atlantic Light," which focuses on the dazzling light and sparkling water. All are complex and elaborate, yet have a familiar sound. The large orchestra sounds plentiful and the solos are brilliant, making this an outstanding listening experience. King International
