About:
Billedbogen, ("The Picture Book") is the name of a small collection of music by Fini Henriques which belonged in every Danish home with a piano in the days of our grandparents and great-grandparents. Now it is almost forgotten. But one of Denmark's ablest young pianists, Marie Rørbech, has dusted off the old musical picture book and recorded the music on CD so it sounds like a whole fairytale.

With Billedbogen on CD we now have a set of the last century's loveliest Danish piano treasures for children in a new, charming setting. This is music written for children - to play to, to draw to or "just" to listen to. For those who would like to play the pieces for themselves, there is a special website with sheet music to download etc. Marie Rørbech, who plays on the CD, has grouped the pieces by difficulty so one knows where to begin.

Reviews

Pianistens skarpt pointerede og aldeles ukunstlede spillemåde klæder disse i ordets bedste forstand enkle stykker ... Enkelt, sødt, pænt og godt - men ikke spor kedeligt!
(Berlingske Tidende)

Der lyser en umiddelbar glæde ved de små perler ud af Marie Rørbechs fint pointerede spil ... Anbefales varmt til børn i alle aldre.
(****** Fyens Stiftstidende)

Et nyt album skaber lyst til at lytte og mod på selv at spille ... Et fremragende koncept.
(**** Flensborg Avis)

En fin og livagtig indspilning.
(Kristeligt Dagblad)

Billedbogen er en rejse ind i det forrige århundredes dejligst klingende klaverperler for børn...
(Musikeren).

Alt spilles nydeligt og musikken er underholdende. Hvad børn vil sige, aner jeg ikke, men voksne i barnehumør kan glæde sig.
(High Fidelity)
