Bjarke Mogensen (accordion)

Danish National Chamber Orchestra, Rolf Gupta

Danish Bjarke Mogensen (b. 1985) is the new star of the accordion in a country where there are already proud accordion traditions.

On this CD Bjarke is accompanied by the Danish National Chamber Orchestra conducted by Rolf Gupta in new Danish accordion concertos by Per Nørgård, Ole Schmidt, Anders Koppel and Martin Lohse – the last two written specifically for the young soloist.

“Bjarke Mogensen is an astonishment on record. Once heard, never forgotten” The Arts Journal, New York

“The accordion tradition is flourishing in Denmark...Mogensen benefits from spirited and attentive playing by the Danish National Chamber Orchestra, enhanced by Rolf Gupta's attentive direction...the Da Capo sound securing a well-nigh ideal balance of soloist and ensemble.” Gramophone Magazine, July 2012

Dorian Keilhack

Der göttliche Tivoli (The Divine Circus) is Per Nørgård’s (b. 1932) marvellous portrayal of the Swiss schizophrenic artist Adolf Wölfli (1864-1930).

It stands as a key work in contemporary Nordic music drama and in two acts presents two periods in Wölfli’s life; his harsh upbringing in Switzerland in the late 19th century and his confinement in an asylum, where Wölfli for more than 30 years produced an endless number of incredible artworks.

The encounter with Wölfli’s life and art became a significant turning point in Nørgård’s music, which led to a series of great works, all dealing with chaos and catastrophe, among them The Divine Circus.

The Divine Circus is here presented on disc for the first time in a live performance from Stadttheater Bern in 2008.

“...a powerfully effective piece, with a text compiled by the composer from a range of sources, and the largely declamatory vocal writing underpinned mostly by a formidable battery of percussion. There is enough in the music, and in the allusive visual and literary layers around it, to suggest it would have a real theatrical presence.” The Guardian, 18th February 2010 ***
