World premiere recordings by Danish National composer Carl Nielsen
It is with great pleasure that OUR Recordings today can release the album ESPANSIVA for 4 Hand piano with Rikke Sandberg and Kristoffer Hyldig. The arrangement was written by Carl Nielsen and has never been recorded before.
So, why a four-hand arrangement of an orchestral score you may ask? In the days before mechanical recordings, four hand arrangements were both a delightful social activity and an invaluable means of making large-scale works available for a larger audience as well as promote them to conductors and concert programmers.

J.S.Bach SIX SUITES FOR CELLO SOLO HENRIK DAM THOMSEN
In music, we can find peace, a place to recharge.
Music is a place where we can immerse ourselves—be self-forgetting. In music, we can find help to explore our own minds, preparing ourselves to comprehend the incomprehensible and unfathomable.
In music, we can find a community that enriches us.
Music can challenge, surprise, heal, and provoke, - taking us out of our usual ways of thinking and opening our minds to new possibilities.
Music also provides unique physical well-being and happiness through dance.

Update from OUR Recordings
The past months have been busy for OUR Recordings with recordings, preparation for recordings, marketing, and music industry conferences. I attended the annual IAMA Conference in Bruges and Classical Next in Berlin. Both conferences were very exciting and rewarding. I met old friends, colleagues, and new wonderful people, and the topics chosen for sessions and panel discussions were both relevant and informative, and the speakers were highly competent. At both conferences, Artificial Intelligence (AI) had a significant and justified presence. If we, as the music industry, do not engage in providing content for training the robots, the Tech giants will decide, and we will be sidelined.

Today is the release of the album STAIRWAY TO BACH - Rock Classics with a hint of Bach
The symphonic rock music of the 1960s and 1970s aspired to great things and often drew upon classical tropes, particularly those suggesting the gravitas of J.S. Bach, sometimes using direct Bach quote, while at others, as in Penny Lane by The Beatles, suggesting the sound of the Baroque masters.
