See the full album descriptionBusy Bees and Birds
The Danish composer Mogens Christensen (b. 1955) is known for his exquisite sense of tone colour and for his unusual inspirational sources, found in dreams, astrology and natural phenomena. The title work of this CD, Busy Bees and Birds, explores the fascinating sound world of a lively beehive juxtaposed with fabulating birdsong, while his cycle Nocturnal Birds invites the listener to share the experience of atmospheric nightly birdsong through all four seasons – and through a timeless kaleidoscope of acoustic and electronic sounds around recorder soloist Pernille Petersen.
