Esbjerg Ensemble; Kristofer Hyldig - Silence is Music Too - Chamber Music by Axel Borup-Jorgensen

A tribute in honour of the Danish Sound Explorer's composer's centenary. The Danish composer Axel Borup-Jorgensen (1924-2012) was one of the 20th century's great silent individualists. Although largely self-taught, he was the first Danish composer who attended the Darmstadt Summer Courses for New Music. Without a doubt, the avant-garde of the sixties exerted a strong influence on Borup-Jorgensen's sound world, but he never embraced any specific ism, following instead his own intuition and his extraordinary sense of organizing sound.
