description
Here is how our booklet author, Christoph Schlüren, puts it: "He towers above most of his colleagues, not only in wealth of invention, thematic coherence, and phenomenal orchestration, but especially in his mastery of nuance and his far reaching control of the harmonic process. Hardly any of his contemporaries can match his masterly handling of modulation." This paean applies to Ludvig Irgens Jensen, a composer barely known outside his native Norway. It's a fate he shares with many Scandinavian composers of his generation: Kurt Atterberg, to take just one example, has yet to find a place in Central European concert halls. We at cpo show how unjust this is by producing Irgens Jensen's major orchestral works with the formidable Trondheim Orchestra. A great composer, the equal of his contemporaries Sibelius and Carl Nielsen, is now yours to discover. Be prepared for something exciting!
