Vagn Holmboe

Preludes for Sinfonietta Vol. 1

Athelas Sinfonietta Copenhagen
Giordano Bellincampi, conductor

Vagn Holmboe, composer

About:
The spirit of folk culture plays an important role in the music of Vagn Holmboe. As was the case with Béla Bartók, folkloristic studies have here contributed significantly to the compositional process. Holmboe is the most influential Danish composer of the generation after Carl Nielsen and his large output includes twelve symphonies, chamber concertos, and a long series of extremely fine string quartets.

Reviews

"I cannot imagine these marvelous, recognizably Nordic works being technically better or more convincingly performed than by Giordano Bellincampi and the Athelas Sinfonietta Copenhagen. Da Capo's sound is top-drawer" 10/10 (Classics Today) [Read full review]

"Dacapo are building an extremely interesting catalogue of modern and not so modern Danish music, with occasional excursions into other Scandinavian countries and Northern Europe. They are to be congratulated on their enterprise, and this issue deserves to have a wide circulation. I enjoyed it very much. I need not mention that the recording quality is first rate" ***** (Classical Music on the Web) [Read full review]
