Description:
Askell Másson’s Horn Concerto is a work of deep personal significance that combines expressive depth with brilliant virtuosity. It was composed with the internationally renowned hornist Joseph Ognibene—principal horn of the Iceland Symphony Orchestra—as an artistic inspiration, and it unfolds the instrument’s rich lyrical and dramatic potential. The music unfolds with great emotional intensity, blending contemplative, introspective moments with passages full of energy and power. The concerto is dedicated to the composer’s parents and carries a deeply personal and heartfelt message throughout its musical journey. Both technically demanding and emotionally captivating, the work offers the soloist numerous opportunities for expressive interpretation while engaging in a lively dialogue with the orchestra. It represents a moving and distinctive contribution to the contemporary horn repertoire.
