Bo Andersen, like his teacher Ib Nørholm, seeks to achieve a balanced synthesis of tradition and innovation by adopting an approach which aims at accessibility without any compromise in originality. On this CD project Andersen compiles his recent works on the Passion theme, all of which are world premier recordings by international leading soloists and ensembles.

Denmark’s leading composer Ib Nørholm started his musical education at the age of nine with piano lessons and began to study organ at 15. It is with keyboard instruments that Nørholm developed and matured both as composer and performing artist (Nørholm received diploma as organist and has been the appointed organist at Copenhagen’s Bethlehem Church for a number of years.) This 2-CD set of superbly performed piano works traces Nørholm’s footsteps in the past 50 years and illustrates the exceptional career of a great contemporary composer.

Denmark’s leading composer Ib Nørholm is undoubtedly one of the most documented – both in printed music and recorded music – composers of our time. This latest production is a collection of his art songs in the last three decades. “... products of the composer’s search for an accommodation between the modernist and traditionalist approaches – a compositional third way which keeps faith with the noble tradition of Scandinavian art song without any compromising of an individualist approach.” (Geoff Thomason – from the liner notes)
