內容簡介：
This 2-disc set grew out of the fascination of Robert von Bahr, founder and managing director of BIS Records, for the television series House of Cards. It wasn't only –or even primarily –the script or the acting that grabbed him, however, but just as much the music. Said and done –Jeff Beal, the composer of the House of Cards soundtrack, was contacted and it was soon decided that he should compose a Flute Concertofor the virtuosic Sharon Bezaly.
To complement the concerto a selection of music from the series was agreed upon, but with five seasons worth of instalments to choose from, this quickly grew into a large-scale (very large-scale!) House of Cards Symphony which at 83 minutes takes up a disc all on its own. So now the decision was made to record and present a lavish two disc-set, with three further works: Six Sixteenfor guitar and orchestra (performed by Grammy Award winner Jason Vieaux), Canticlefor strings and a brand new House of Cards Fantasyfor flute and orchestra. The NorrkopingSymphony Orchestrahas received international acclaim for its recordings of the hyper-intense music of modernist Allan Pettersson, but here, under the direction of the composer himself, it has taken to the new idiom and welcomes the additional instruments necessary to bring out that House of Cards feeling: electric guitar and bass guitar, drum kit, piano and flugelhorn.
