About
Apocalyptic and paradisiac visions of good and evil meet aphoristic miniatures of nine small, mainly malignant insects. The rousing graphic imagery of Rued Langgaard (1893–1952) is on full display in this third volume of piano works by the deeply original Danish composer. Including three world premiere recordings, Berit Johansen Tange captures the mysterious forces, poetic gracefulness and absurd hysteria that are all part of Langgaard’s both dark and wondrous expression

As already indicated, the performances of Berit Johansen Tange are first rate; her ability to alternate between all the musical styles whilst still give a fully nuanced performance is wonderful. She is helped by the recorded sound which gets the very best from the piano and pianist, and the notes are excellent
