Ensemble MidtVest - Whirl's World (2019) CD-Rip

Per Nørgard is one of the most frequently played composers of his generation. He has written more than 400 works in all genres and inspired innumerable colleagues in Denmark and abroad. This album presents all of Nørgards music for the Oscar winning Babettes Feast film version by Gabriel Axel of Karen Blixens short story not just the snatches of it one can hear in the film. One can also get to know the hypnotic Spell, the ripples and bubbles in Whirls World and Trio Breve, which according to the composer himself are to be regarded as three as short expressive phrases dream-like pictures that change between light and dark, fast and slow but with introvert melodic features in common.
