Esbjerg Ensemble - Matias Vesterg�rd: Idylls, elegies

Even as he emerges onto Denmark�s new music scene as a major new voice, Matias Vesterg�rd is a rarity on it: a composer fluent, flexible, prolific and poly-stylistic who draws on genres ranging from hymnody to cabaret while probing some of the basic theories of sound and its production. The music recorded here was written during Vesterg�rd�s years at the Academy of Music in Copenhagen, charting a process of self-discovery described by the composer as �my younger self trying to deal with the serious classical music heritage I love.�
