Ole Edvard Antonsen is one the world’s leading trumpeters. In the late 1980s he won several international competitions after which he left his job as section principal with the Oslo Philharmonic to pursue a solo career. Since then he has toured the world, given solo recitals and worked with the world’s leading orchestras, from the Berlin Philharmonic to the BBC Symphony Orchestra, the English Chamber Orchestra and many others. He has worked with such conductors as Mariss Jansons, Kent Nagano and... Jeffrey Tate. He places particular emphasis on contemporary music and living composers have written more than forty works specifically for him. He has also made more than 60 recordings and not just classical music: the rock inspired album Tour de Force sold 140 000 copies in Norway. László Fassang studied at the Academy of Music where his teachers were Ferenc Gergely, István Ruppert and Ilona Prunyi. He studied at the Paris Conservatoire with Olivier Latry and Philippe Lefebvre, organists of Notre Dame. In 2002, he won the gold medal for improvisation at the Calgary competition and in 2004, won the grand prix and the audience prize in the interpretation category at Chartres, perhaps the world’s premiere organ competition. As a performer he is open to all styles of music and is happy to play jazz as well as traditional music. In spring 2006 he was awarded the Liszt Prize and this same year, released his first solo recording in France. He has given numerous recitals all over the world, and teaches improvisation at the San Sebastian Music College in Spain. At the concert of these two artists, we can enjoy a representative sample of the entire organ repertoire, with works from the instrument’s golden era to those that incorporate a variety of styles.
