About

Listening to Rued Langgaard’s works for solo piano is like reading an open book. All through his life, Langgaard had a close relationship with the piano and composed well over 50 works for the instrument, in which his development as a composer, and as a person, can be traced step by step. In this fourth volume of piano works by the deeply original Danish composer, Berit Johansen Tange captures the fierce inner life of Langgaard, his the charm and incomparable twists in color and mood that are all part of Langgaard’s both delicate and visionary expression

Reviews

“… His [Langgaard] piano music is served here by the perfect interpreter, Berit Johansen Tange, who as co-editor of Langgaard’s complete works for piano has worked intensively with the composer’s music… Superbly recorded.”

Colin Clarke – International Piano – April 2023

“… The music is tonal in the tradition of Rachmaninoff and Strauss … His style remains basically the same from the earliest works here to the last. The pieces certainly are beautifully conceived for the piano and occasionally show flashes of unexpected harmonies …”

Rob Haskins – American Record Guide – January/February 2023

“Rued Langgaard was a prolific composer of piano works, which were published in their entirety in 2018; Berit Johansen Tange is already on her fourth, excellent volume dedicated to them. The attractive Blomstervignetter (Flower vignettes) frame the Second Piano Sonata and a clutch of miniatures” ****

Rebecca Franks – BBC Music magazine (Brief Notes Section) – November 2022
