“You never know where you have Riisager: he is the man of surprises and caprices,” wrote a Danish newspaper after the first performance of Knudåge Riisager's Symphony No. 3 in 1932. Indeed, this album presents a collection of highly original and imaginative orchestral works by Riisager from the 1920s and 30s, including the euphoric Futurist tribute to the new aeroplanes T-DOXC - all in world premiere recordings by Aarhus Symphony Orchestra and conductor Bo Holten.
