Synopsis

Product Description
Pelle Gudmundsen Holmgreen (b. 1932), one of the most important composers in Scandinavia, is both
famous and notorious for simple, contrastful music that often borders on both the entertaining and the
absurd. The contrastful and simple are also evident in the first recordings of the two works on this
release: the piano concerto Plateaux pour Piano et Orchestre followed by Holmgreen's most expansive
solo piano piece For Piano. The pianist in both works is the young Finn, Juho Pohjonen. The piano
concerto is with the Danish National Symphony Orchestra and the Dutch conductor Ed Spanjaard.
In the fall of 2008, Pelle Gudmundsen Holmgreen's string quartet music was released on the disc 'Kronos
plays Holmgreen' featuring the world famous American Kronos Quartet. A release that
has received extensive critical acclaim in Denmark and also have been chosen among the Best Classical
Recordings of 2008 by Time Out Chicago.
