Poul Ruders, composer

About
Ruders is by nature what the Germans call an Ausdrucksmusiker. Everything he has written is marked by a decided will to expression. Stylistically, he operates with a wide-ranging expressive register. Of his earliest development one could almost say that it followed several tracks - something that can also to a certain extent be read out of his piano output. It consists of six works for solo piano and two piano concertos, and spans a period from 1967 to 1994.

Reviews
"Besides adding a new dimension to our understanding of Ruders' achievement, it would be difficult to imagine more definitive interpretations" (Nordic Sounds)

"Her er en pianist, der kan formidle dansk romantik med stor indføling det er en fornøjelse at lytte til" (Politiken)

"Hind har et særdeles indgående kendskab til dansk musik, og han er en af de helt store interpreter udi samtidsmusikken" (Information)
