SØRENSEN, B.: 12 Nocturnes / Piano Concerto No. 3, "La sera estatica" (Gislinge, Copenhagen Phil, Storgårds)

This album immerses the listener in the extraordinary poetic imagination of Bent Sørensen (b. 1958) and his profound love of the piano. It begins with the intimate, hushed textures of the solo piano cycle ‘12 Nocturnes’, a night music that drifts from sundown to sunrise, and unfolds into the Piano Concerto No. 3, ‘La sera estatica’. Touched by the fleeting magic of twilight, where new encounters and possibilities quietly awaken, this ‘ecstatic evening’ is captured here in its world premiere performance with soloist Katrine Gislinge and the Copenhagen Phil under John Storgårds.
