Pelle Gudmundsen-Holmgreen: Repriser

The music of Pelle Gundmundsen-Holmgreen is at its most affecting when it is at its most absurd - like in the sinfonietta works on this recording by the composer's longtime artistic accomplice Athelas Sinfonietta Copenhagen. The points of departure for the classically absurd Gundmundsen-Holmgreen pieces on this album range from a red Skoda door, given to the composer by Athelas as a gift, over randomly picked newspaper articles to general inspiration from Samuel Beckett.
