Edition Wilhelm Hansen

Edition Wilhelm Hansen *Making Music Better* | Largest Music Publisher in the Nordics | Leading Scandinavian Composers | Classical profile | Part of Wise Music Group Ratkje.

Edition Wilhelm Hansen blev grundlagt i 1857 og er i dag Nordens største independent musikforlag. Norden er på alle måder omdrejningspunktet i forlagets historie; toneangivende, klassiske nordiske komponister som Edvard Grieg, Jean Sibelius og Carl Nielsen har alle haft deres gang på forlaget. EWH blev i 1988 en del af Wise Music Group og samarbejder tæt på tværs af syv internationale kontorer. De

t nordiske islæt og traditionen er videreført til vor tid i en række markante nordiske profiler som Per Nørgård, Britta Bystrøm, Pelle Gudmundsen-Holmgreen, Poul Ruders, Hans Abrahamsen, Sunleif Rasmussen, Bent Sørensen, Outi Tarkiainen, Eivind Buene og Maja S.K. Forlagsarbejdet bliver suppleret med et stærkt promotion-netværk på tværs af de syv internationale søsterkontorer og kontakter i musiklivet i hele Norden. I løbet af de seneste par år har EWH udvidet repertoiret til også at indeholde nogen af de mest succesfulde sangskrivere inden for dansk pop, som Sebastian, Lasse ’Pilfinger’ Kramhøft, Burhan G, Lars H.U.G, Fallulah, Lars Ankerstjerne og Shaka Loveless, samt filmkomponisterne Jacob Groth, Henrik Skram og Frans Bak. Pop-afdelingen arbejder aktivt med synkronisering, hvilket inkluderer at pitche og licensere EWHs katalog til film, tv og reklamer. Herudover arbejder afdelingen også ofte som musik supervisors på spillefilm og reklamer, både lokalt og internationalt. Edition Wilhelm Hansen forsøger på denne måde at bevare og udvikle sin position ikke bare som central forlagsvirksomhed men også som betydningsfuld musikdistributør i hele Norden.

東京都交響楽団 Tokyo Metropolitan Symphony Orchestra performs the country premiere of Outi Tarkiainen's 'The Rapids of Life' today 🥳🎵

With inspiration from the magical human strength in childbirth, The Rapids of Life is dedicated to the memory of Kaija Saariaho:

"While I was composing the piece, the news reached me of the death of Kaija Saariaho, a great composer and a person who was very important to me. The composition began to reflect her as a person; a little flash of her cello concerto slipped into the cello solo at the beginning, and many of the instruments that meant a lot to her appeared to bear the flame of life along. The piece ends with birth and a great new beginning."

- Outi Tarkiainen

Pekka Kuusisto - Musician conducts the concert and also conducted the world premiere of the work back in 2024 with Helsingin kaupunginorkesteri - Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra 🤩

The first rounds of the Carl Nielsen International Competition have officially begun where gifted musicians are showing off their talents with a brand-new commission by Louise Alenius 🎶

The new piece for solo flute is named 'R for Rome', an ode to Åse Eg Jørgensen and her collection of works under the same title 🏛⭐

Alenius writes:

"It is wonderful to write music that will be performed by so many different talented musicians. In my piece 'R in Rome', I have focused on allowing plenty of space for personal interpretation, so the performers’ individual styles and aesthetic choices can shine through as clearly as possible. After all, it is the people behind the talents who drive art forward and make it relevant to the audience."

The Carl Nielsen International Competition takes place in Odense, Denmark and runs until 16 June 2026.

Tonight at Berwaldhallen, Esa-Pekka Salonen’s praised Cello Concerto is brought centre stage for his sixth and final part as Artist in Residence with the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra 🎶

In the first of two performances, Susanna Mälkki conducts the 36-minute long concerto, known for its intense virtuosity and expressive depth. In Salonen's own words, it begins with 'a simple thought emerging out of a complex landscape. Almost like consciousness developing from clouds of dust.'

The acclaimed cellist Nicolas Altstaedt presents his version as soloist which can also be experienced on the Alpha Classics release from 2022.

"Only few people ever experience the Ferguson reflex, and they are all women. But those who do are sure to remember its magical strength for ever. I described that enormous surge to my husband as the rapids of life I had to shoot – as a precipice over which I was pushed; and in the process I realised how little I knew about the strength of the human body.
This physical command, also known as the foetal ejection reflex and performed without conscious thought, shot our son out of my womb and into our arms in the space of two minutes. 'The Rapids of Life' is a work about that paramount moment, about a female’s instinctive birth-giving and a little child of nature who opens his eyes for the first time." - Outi Tarkiainen

Outi Tarkiainen 's orchestral work 'The Rapids of Life' recieves country premieres in Taipei and Tokyo the next weeks both times conducted by Pekka Kuusisto - Musician. First with Taipei Symphony Orchestra 北市交 and then 東京都交響楽団 Tokyo Metropolitan Symphony Orchestra.
