On this new Dacapo release, the acclaimed Danish Horn Trio brilliantly displays three of today's leading Danish composers' work with the horn trio phenomenon. All three composers on this CD clearly nod to the genre's legacy by Brahms and Ligeti, and all are profoundly inspired by the transparent soundscape of the three fundamentally different instruments – one bowed, one blown and one struck.

“Of the three works here for the horn trio combination made classic by the masterpieces of Brahms and Ligeti...none appears overawed by the possible comparisons. Taken together, they offer a fascinating cross-section of the diversity of temperament among Danish composers. Pride of place goes to the best-known figure of Poul Ruders...[Gudmundsen-Holmgreen's work] is music that derives maximum effect from minimal means”
I. Alpha. Begyndelsen (The Beginning)
