Program Notes
"Lindberg, a master of orchestral sound, has chosen virtually the same forces as Stravinsky in his Symphonies of Wind Instruments, and with its five connected movements Gran Duo is a symphony in the modern sense... a darkly brooding yet peaceful work that reflects something of a unique landscape."
-The Times
Gran Duo was composed in 1999-2000 and is a dialogue between the two orchestral families of woodwind & brass, each with their respective material. Their initial characters, equating to the poetic stereotypes of 'masculine' & 'feminine', become progressively blurred & androgynised during the course of the work as larger sound masses give way to chamber music-style sub-groupings & individual instrumental solos.
