It is Romanticism for the 21st century. […] A quiet longing for simplicity
Sune Anderberg, Magasinet Klassisk
Having experienced it both live and in recorded form, I am left with the impression that Thomas Agerfeldt Olesen has, in fact, written a significant work in Danish symphonic music of the 2020s. It stands up to far wider exposure
Sune Anderberg, Magasinet Klassisk
The suites are short, simple, and effective, yet at the same time deeply atmospheric. [...] the blend of glockenspiel and principles of chance appears like small, glistening snowflakes in a long and brutal snowstorm
Simon Heggum, SEISMOGRAF
It is a great experience to encounter such a distinctive, major composer. […] The piano sound is enormously beautiful
Musikrevyn i P2, Sveriges Radio
The cellist shows great performative talent
Sune Anderberg, Magasinet Klassisk
Darkness clearly comes to the fore in the way Bent Sørensen composes, and it is a fine and impressive achievement that something so abstract can nevertheless be articulated with such clarity
Rachel Einarsson, Klassisk bureau
With a dramatic opening, multiple orchestral groups, and crackling storminess in the soundscapes, the dreamy nocturnal universe is ruptured by a surging ardor
