About

Peruvian-born, American-trained conductor Miguel Harth-Bedoya, is inspired to look at how music, like the poetic concept of peace, can unite the world. The idea behind Journeys is to create an example of that unity in a tangible form by bringing together music from every continent into one album. With works inspired by myths and mechanics, cosmic motion and human emotion, originating from Europe and the Americas to Africa, Asia and Australasia, the themes in this collection of world premiere recordings range as widely as their origins.

“… It is an excellently engineered aural cornucopia of music that will prompt big emotions… delicious performances by all.”

Stephanie Boyd – American Record Guide – September/October 2021

Performance **** Recording ****

‘… diverse, energetic and wholly rewarding survey of nine contemporary composers fro across five continents…”

Steph Power – BBC Music magazine – May 2021

“… Miguel Harth-Bedoya and the Norwegian Radio Orchestra invite you to a small musical journey around the world. The idea behind Journeys is to bring together differently inspired music from all continents in one album… The pieces played were composed between 2002 and 2015. The nine compositions, which are certainly neither fully representative of their countries of origin nor of contemporary music, have many things in common: they are evocative, dramatic, and belong to the tone poem genre. Miguel Harth-Bedoya lets his orchestra perform powerfully and with many colors, so that an effective hour of music came together.” ****

Norbert Tischer – Pizzicato.com – 16 March 2021

“For music lovers of an adventurous bent, here’s a chance to enjoy some unfamiliar repertoire in performances of great spirit and dash. Peruvian-born, American-trained conductor Miguel Harth-Bedoya is inspired to look at how music, like the poetic concept of peace, can unite the world. The idea behind Journeys is to create an example of that unity in a tangible form by bringing together music from every continent into one album.
