About

Erik Hojsgaard's (b. 1954) music has always possessed a dreamlike quality, where everything moves in the space between reality and our memory of it. Observers have aptly compared his tonal language to the orchestral artistry of Alban Berg. This album brings together three of Hojsgaard's key chamber works: in 'Essays', he captures the magical atmosphere of Venice, while 'Udstillingsbillede' transforms L.A. Ring's iconic painting into a musical reflection. The album concludes with 'Please accept a Sunset', where fragments of literary worlds intertwine within a soundscape imbued with a dreamlike resonance.
