Langgaard: The Symphonies

With his symphonies the Danish composer Rued Langgaard
(1893-1952) offered 16 vastly different versions of what a symphony
can be. His captivating, complex genius made room for
all conceivable idioms and a wealth of styles ranging from the
grandiosely Late Romantic to the purest Absurdism. This box
is the first collected recording of Langgaard's 16 symphonies
based on the critical edition of the scores; recordings which
demonstrate, with spectacular sound quality, Langgaard's
masterly grasp of the orchestra and his ecstatic view of art.
