Norgard / Ensemble Midtvest Whirl'S World CD

Per N?rgard 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 N?rgard's music for the Oscar winning Babette's Feast film version by Gabriel Axel of Karen Blixen's 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 Whirl's 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.
