Poul Ruders
Solar Trilogy
Odense SymfoniorkesterMichael Schønwandt,
dirigentPoul Ruders,
komponistOm:The Danish composer Poul Ruders is one of the most distinctive voices in European music today. The style is extrovert and international, direct in its appeal and the inventiveness if the music is astonishing and full of passion. Apart from some orchestration lessons he is basically self-taught. The
Solar Trilogy composed 1992 to 1995, is a huge symphonic triptych, depicting in music the life and behaviour of our nearest star: the Sun.
