Bent Sørensen
A flickering, glittering world where things seem to disappear at the slightest touch. En flimrende, glitrende verden hvor tingene synes at forsvinde ved den mindste berøring.
Bent Sørensen is without doubt the leading Danish composer of his generation. His unique sound world has been described as trembling and glistening — works of hushed drama, full of sliding, drooping, flickering motifs. Bent Sørensen er uden tvivl den førende danske komponist af sin generation. Hans unikke klangverden er blevet beskrevet som flimrende og glitrende — værker af stille drama, fulde af glidende, dryppende motiver.
The moment something becomes recognizable, it dissolves. I det øjeblik noget bliver genkendeligt, opløses det.
Sørensen's music is undeniably of the present day, both aesthetically and technically. The quiet, smudged contours, which sound as though heard through falling rain or misted windows, are always drawn in minute, calligraphic detail. Sørensens musik er utvivlsomt nutidig, både æstetisk og teknisk. De stille, udviskede konturer, som lyder som om de høres gennem faldende regn eller dugget glas, er altid tegnet i minutiøse, kalligrafiske detaljer.
