★★★★★★ “Impresses from the first to the last note” Piano News
★★★★★ “Close to heart-breaking” BBC Music MagazineApocalyptic and paradisiac visions of good and evil meet aphoristic miniatures of nine small, mainly malignant insects. The rousing graphic imagery of Rued Langgaard (1893–1952) is on full display in this third volume of piano works by the deeply original Danish composer. Including three world premiere recordings, Berit Johansen Tange captures the mysterious forces, poetic gracefulness and absurd hysteria that are all part of Langgaard’s both dark and wondrous expression.
