Pelle Gudmundsen-Holmgreen (b. 1932), one of the most important composers in Scandinavia, is both famous and notorious for simple, contrastful music that often borders on both the entertaining and the absurd.

Contrasts and simplicity are also evident in the world première recordings of the two works on this release: the piano concerto Plateaux pour piano et orchestre, followed by Holmgreen’s most expansive solo piano piece For Piano.
