Berg: Chamber Music Works with Piano

Gunnar Berg’s (1909-89) music has only recently become acknowledged in earnest in his native Denmark. This premiere recording of Berg’s chamber music offers unusual instrument blends including saxophone, trumpet, bass clarinet and marimba; in addition, a mezzo-soprano sings in the major work Tøbrud from 1961: a piece whose title can now be said to have taken on symbolic meaning given the renewed interest in the composer.
