Description
The inspiration of Denmark lies behind much of the music in this recording. The English composer and conductor Matthew Taylor (b. 1964) readily confesses to a fascination with the music of Carl Nielsen, and, as with Nielsen's own music for winds, Taylor's shows a similar blend of symphonic purpose and bucolic humour. Several of the works here take their inspiration directly from Nielsen; indeed, Skal! is a piece of whimsy that consists entirely of quotations from Nielsen's music. The Trio in memoriam VH is a tribute to Vagn Holmboe, the leading Danish composer in the generation after Nielsen. This is the debut recording of The Waldegrave Ensemble, a new London-based wind quintet, who have called in some of their musician friends to join in.
