Product description

Dive into the enchanting and mysterious world of Per Nørgård's "Lygtemaendene tager til byen" (The Will-o'-the-Wisps Go to Town) and Bent Sørensen's "Den lille havfrue" (The Little Mermaid) in this captivating 2006 release from Dacapo Records. This album is a mesmerizing blend of neoclassical and avant-garde compositions that will intrigue and delight fans of innovative and thought-provoking music.

Per Nørgård's "Lygtemaendene tager til byen" is a dramatic and engaging work, divided into ten scenes, each telling a part of a larger, eerie narrative. The story, narrated through a chorus, various characters, and the will-o'-the-wisps themselves, is a haunting exploration of folklore and the supernatural. The piece is known for its intricate composition and the way it weaves together different voices and instruments to create a rich, atmospheric soundscape.

Complementing Nørgård's work is Bent Sørensen's "Den lille havfrue," a three-movement piece inspired by Hans Christian Andersen's famous fairy tale. Sørensen's composition is a beautiful and evocative exploration of the story's themes, with the chorus, soprano, and tenor voices combining to create a sense of longing, tragedy, and hope.

The album features the talented performers Thomas Dausgaard, DR SymfoniOrkestret, and a cast of skilled vocalists, including Henning-Jensen, Kihlberg, Gjerris, and Jensen. Their performances bring Nørgård and Sørensen's compositions to life, adding depth and nuance to the already rich and complex pieces.

With a total runtime of just over an hour, this album is a substantial and rewarding listen, offering a deep dive into the worlds created by Nørgård and Sørensen. Whether you're a fan of neoclassical music, avant-garde compositions, or simply appreciate well-crafted and engaging storytelling through music, this album is sure to captivate and inspire.

About Per Nørgård

Per Nørgård, a towering figure in Danish music, was a composer whose work spanned neoclassical and avant-garde genres, leaving an indelible mark on the musical landscape. Born in Gentofte in 1932, Nørgård's career was marked by a relentless exploration of sound, form, and tonality, earning him a reputation as one of Denmark's most significant composers. His music, often characterized by repeated motifs, reflects a deep sensitivity and strong personality that were evident even in his early works, such as his first solo cello sonata composed between the ages of 19 and 21. Nørgård's admirations ranged from the symphonies of Sibelius to the humor of South Park, a duality that found expression in his own compositions, blending the full force of nature with a playful wit. Throughout his prolific career, Nørgård's contributions to the world of music were as varied as they were influential, making him a beloved figure among enthusiasts and critics alike.
