About
Before graduating from the Soloists’ Class of the Royal Danish Academy of Music in 2022, Matias Vestergård had already written three operas and a complete ballet.
He emerges onto Denmark’s new music scene as a major new voice, but also a rarity: a composer fluent, flexible, prolific and poly-stylistic.
The chamber music on this album is written during his years at the academy. His chief influences in this period were Ferruccio Busoni, Pelle Gudmundsen-Holmgreen and his teachers Hans Abrahamsen and Simon Løffler.
In Vestergård’s instrumental music, choral-like melodies are hidden and strewn about the music.
Esbjerg Ensemble was founded in 1967 and consists of 10 instrumentalists: a string quartet, a wind quintet and percussion.
The album is released at the same time as Matias Vestergård’s new opera Lisbon Floor with a libretto by Lea Marie Løppenthin is premiered at Copenhagen Opera Festival.
