Description:

Danish composer Pr Noago has been acclaimed worldwide, having won numerous awards throughout his long career in music. Noago has written many works that emphasize tranquility, and while the pieces featured on this album span a wide range of composition dates, they are all introspective works for small ensembles. A highlight is The Book for Nobuko, written for solo viola. This collection of short pieces was composed for the renowned Japanese virtuoso Nobuko Imai; it is a mysterious work featuring the soothing, dignified sound of the viola.Listeners will be able to discern his thoughtful message through the ensemble performance by Denmarks leading musicians.Naxos Japan
