The Carl Nielsen QuintetAbout
Niels Viggo Bentzon must be said to be one of the most important figures in twentieth-century Danish musical history, as both a pianist, author and composer of nearly 1,000 works! Today, he enjoys the status of a kind of cultural phenomenon.
This album presents five works for wind quintet by Bentzon, four of them world-premiere recordings.
For this release, The Carl Nielsen Quintet has been digging out and working with Bentzon’s handwritten scores in order to present a first recording of the works.
Bentzon’s Variations consists of a series of ‘moods’, written in the worst year of the World War.
His big interest in jazz can be heard in the Bop Quintet as an almost cliché-like stylistic mask. His Wind Quintets nos. 3, 4 and 5 are beautifully crafted and filled with contrasts in unmistakable personal tonal language.
The Carl Nielsen Quintet is a young Danish ensemble formed in 2006. The members have positions in Danish and Swedish symphony orchestras alongside their career in the quintet.
