About the album

In recent years Bridge's Poul Ruders Edition has focused on the Danish composer's symphonic music, including the Grammy-nominated Piano Concerto No. 2 and the large Symphony No. 4 'An Organ Symphony'. Ruders, though mostly known for his operas and symphonic music, has also produced a steady output of solo and chamber music, frequently composing extended cycles of short pieces for friends and virtuosi. This recording contains several of these cycles heard in their premiere recording.

Poul Ruders

Poul Ruders (b. 1949) is one of the era’s most highly regarded composers for both the opera stage and the symphonic concert hall. His operas have been staged in Copenhagen, New York City, London, Toronto and Munich, and his orchestral music commissioned by the Berlin Philharmonic, New York Philharmonic, and the BBC Symphony Orchestra. Ruders lives a spartan life in the countryside of Denmark. The isolation has afforded him the opportunity to produce a deep and highly varied catalog which includes five operas, 45 symphonic works and concertos, and dozens of chamber and solo pieces. The music of Poul Ruders has been well-documented by the record labels DaCapo (Denmark) and Bridge (USA), and is published by Edition Wilhelm Hansen, Copenhagen. In 2019, Poul...
