Danish National So - Axel Borup-J�rgensen: Marin

Borup-J�rgensen�s music exists on the margins of silence, punctuated with searing dramatic eruptions, all of which can be heard in his orchestral masterpiece Marin (1970). Borup-J�rgensen massive �sea symphony� exists in its own unique world of sound - some-times in as many as 55 separate voices - as is one of the most challenging and meticulously detailed orchestral textures ever set to paper. Such visceral music demands visual expression and as part of this very special DVD/SACD release, L�ckow Film, and an international team of animators directed by Morten Bartholdy bring Borup-J�rgensen�s musical world to life. Also included is the new ?lm AXEL - a portrait of both the composer, and of mid-century Danish modernism featuring interviews with other composers, colleagues and friends, as well as excerpts from recent live performances of the music by Axel Borup-J�rgensen.
