Borrup-Joansen was the first Danish composer to study music on his own and attend the Darmstadt Summer School, and while influenced by the avant-garde music of the 1960s, he pursued his own style without being confined to any particular principle. His autographs are known for their calligraphic beauty, and this album, the eighth in the series at OUR RECORDINGS, is a special tribute to the 100th anniversary of his birth, focusing on chamber music written in various periods. The works that use discarded objects as percussion instruments are a rewarding listen and a colorful part of his creative journey. Performed by Denmark's leading Esbjerg Ensemble and special guests. This is an ideal introductory disc for those new to his music.(Naxos Japan)
