Athelas Sinfonietta/Valade - Holmgreen:Repriser

The music of Pelle Gudmundsen-Holmgreen is at its most affecting when it is at its most absurd - like in the Sinfonietta works on this recording by the composer's long-time artistic accomplice Athelas Sinfonietta Copenhagen. The points of departure for the classically absurd PGH pieces on this album range from a red Skoda door, given to the composer by Athelas as a gift (Traffic), over randomly picked newspaper articles (Three Songs to Texts by Politiken) to general inspiration from Samuel Beckett (Repriser and Rerepriser) and S�ren Kierkegaard (Og).
