Reviews
…if Abrahamsens double concerto gets the chance 5-10 times around Europe it will never disappear from the concert halls again
A frozen moment of silent beauty. An artwork of crystal. Tremendously redeemed by two heroines on piano and solo violin – you could lose your heart to those girls, if it wasn’t stalled. ”
...it was on top 3 over the most poignant I've heard from a danish composer
The Danish composer could set music to a Warsaw autumn. So silent, so frail, so deciduous is his doubble concerto. Especially the third movement was among the most profound moments of beauty ever heard in that hall.
