Herman D. Koppel
In Vol. 3, we find Koppel immersed in the realm of his childhood, inspired by Carl Nielsen's call in 1929 for modern composers to craft approachable music for educational use.
Herman D. Koppel
With the short, captivating pieces and larger variation forms in Vol. 2, Koppel emerges – full of inspiration from Nielsen, Bartók, Stravinsky, and Prokofiev – as a composer with a unique ability to create musical snapshots.
Herman D. Koppel
Koppel's two major piano sonatas in the hands of Christian Westergaard. Expansive and richly conceived testaments from one of Denmark's most remarkable artists of the 20th century.
Bára Gísladóttir
An uncompromising interrogation of the body, in its excesses and ailments. And here, most of all, is life, vaporous and between states, neither dark nor light; an ‘everlasting Dusk’.
Calum Builder
In Renewal Manifestation (2021), Calum Builder embarks on a kind of instrumental necromancy, approaching the organ like an undead spirit – a ‘monster being taught how to breath and sigh’, as he puts it.
Poul Schierbeck
A diverse collection of Schierbeck’s songs, which stylistically belong to different periods of his life, all testify to his outstanding ability to set music to poetry.
Else Marie Pade
Else Marie Pade's 'Sange fra en væg' (Songs From a Wall) reimagined by the duo Dybfølt and singer Kira Martini – playfully, curiously and entirely personally.
Anders Koppel
Three of Koppel’s most charming concertos are heard here in new recordings from the musicians who inspired them and the Danish Sinfonietta, that commissioned and first performed them.
