About

For over four decades, Mogens Christensen (b. 1955) has crafted a unique musical world where the fluidity of dreams meets an aphoristic, crystalline concision. His works often draw on tangible inspirations - natural phenomena, Nordic myths, or literary echoes - guiding the listener through landscapes of intense atmospheric depth. From the 'friendly apparitions' of "Nordic Summer Ghosts" to the subterranean rivers of the monumental "Flumina mortis," this release showcases a composer who perfectly balances Arcadian poetry with a modern, functional clarity.
