About

This release features Leif Kayser’s second and third symphony. Both works are typified by the composer’s remarkable technical mastery and the rich melodious idiom that unites a great Danish tradition with the most exciting elements of the past currents in European music. Besides the incorporation of stylistic elements from Gregorian chant one also can trace reminiscences of Carl Nielsen and other composers such as Bartók, Stravinsky and Hindemith in Kayser’s symphonic music. 
 
The life of the Danish composer and musician Leif Kayser was devoted equally to the religious and the musical. The spiritual aspirations to which Kayser refers stamp his music, which from the outset bore the marks of a certain reserve and modesty. From the start he adopted his own standpoint. In a century typified by great stylistic upheavals he never felt attracted by experiments for their own sake and openly declared his love of Gregorian sacred music. 
 
The works on this CD have been recorded by Aalborg Symphony Orchestra and conductor Matthias Aeschbacher, performing an exciting version of Kaiser’s second and third symphony.
