It would be fantastic to collaborate again, (preferably without the excerpts, unless you really insist…). There is loads of interesting repertoire, (I have to date 7 dedicated concertos by i.a. Aho, Gubaidulina, Beamish) And there is of course the standard repertoire. Warmest regards from rainy Sweden . PS- Do you know Christopher Rouse’s stunning flute concerto? Dear Ken,

As I’ve written elsewhere, Nielsen didn’t seem to care if the piece entertained or annoyed, so bringing it to life in a compelling way (it will never be satisfying in the way Rachmaninoff is) is a huge challenge. Working toward a solution with two such different yet equally marvelous soloists was fascinating, and both succeeded in getting this subversive piece to reach our audiences.
