Rued Langgaard is a composer who surprises. Having experienced one of his works, it is very likely that the next one you encounter will be entirely different. This is true of his songs to Danish texts, some of which are now available for the first time on record. In these songs, from his early days as a hyper-talented teenager through to his first works as a young visionary in his early 20s, we come close to him, both as a composer and as a human being.

Mr Riisager’s rendering of the nicely crafted piano accompaniments is alert and sensitive to the vocal line…”
