RE: [CLASSICAL MUSIC] The Ugly Duckling Of Danish Music 🎻

in #music8 years ago (edited)

When I read the headline I thought: Rued Langgaard. A bit of a duckling himself, but not from bad political judgement - just being a weirdo.

But then this is something new to me... Never heard of von Klenau. I will listen tomorrow.

Sort:  

Langgaard was a weirdo indeed. But I do love him.

Yes, me too. Bought the complete symphonies on cd with Thomas Daugaard and the Danish Radio Synphony orchestra, some years ago. Still surprising and... well weird :)

Yeah, the Dausgaard box is an amazing achievement. Unfortunately it doesn't include "Music of the spheres"; probably his most metaphysical, dream-like and mystical work, tangential to the late works of Scriabin.

Ja, Sfærernes musik is fantastic, but I only heard that much later, when I had stopped buying CDs.
