Dive into the captivating world of Axel Borup-Jørgensen's Viola Works, a collection of his most profound compositions for the viola, released on Dacapo Records in 2016. This album is a testament to Borup-Jørgensen's unique musical language, blending modernist techniques with a deep sense of lyricism and expressiveness.
The album opens with the Partita, Op. 15, a six-movement work that showcases the viola's versatility, from the contemplative Adagio to the lively Presto. The Music for Percussion & Viola, Op. 18, offers a striking contrast, combining the rich tones of the viola with the rhythmic complexity of percussion.
Borup-Jørgensen's Viola Sonata, Op. 14, is a highlight of the album, with its three movements offering a journey through a range of emotions and moods. The Mobiles After Alexander Calder, Op. 38, is a unique piece inspired by the sculptures of Alexander Calder, translated into a dynamic interplay between viola, marimba, and piano.
The album concludes with the Duo for Violin & Viola, Op. 12, a five-movement work that demonstrates Borup-Jørgensen's mastery of counterpoint and his ability to create intricate, yet deeply moving, musical dialogues. With a total duration of 1 hour and 16 minutes, this album is a comprehensive exploration of Borup-Jørgensen's viola works, offering a rich and rewarding listening experience.
