专辑简介

Danish composer Nicolai Worsaae (b. 1980) himself claims a fundamental identification with the narrative form found in classical music. Nevertheless, he has in recent years moved father away from the lyrical and narrative and turned more sharply towards modernism. On this release you meet Worsaae in two works: For both ‘Wesenheit ab Wesenheit’ (2011) and ‘WaWV’ (2014) Worsaae found inspiration in poems by the German prisoner Jorg Meyer, who during the late 70’s was confined to isolation in a Danish prison. Worsaae’s father was prison chaplain and in this way met Meyer who was imprisoned for espionage for the GDR in Denmark. In total, Worsaae uses 13 short poems and not such a great many different sounds to create a musical universe able to express what it is like to be in solitary confinement.
