Description:

Composer Hornbo, a native of Horsens on the Jutland Peninsula, is considered one of the most important Danish composers since Nielsen, having written over 200 works. This two-disc set commemorates the 100th anniversary of his birth and compiles selections from past DACAPO releases that best embody his distinctive style. It is packed with fascinating elements, such as the influence of neoclassicism and the evolution of tonal concepts. It is an excellent collection for those who wish to enjoy contemporary Danish music that is not overly avant-garde. [Comment provided by Naxos Japan]—
