About
Pelle Gudmundsen-Holmgreen is quite an institutionin Danish music. Both his personality and his works enjoy high status in Denmark, and he, if anyone, has been responsible for some of the elements in recent Danish music that notoriously distiguish it from music in the rest of Scandinavia and Germany. He has called himself an outsider in Danish music, but actually he is really a major name, an "established outsider".

Reviews
If you enjoy the fruits of an unfettered musical imagination, somewhat akin to Ligeti’s, this CD is for you.
