Bent Sørensen: Birds and Bells

With her first release in the ECM New Series, the Danish composer makes an impressive debut. Nordic Sounds describes Sørensen's music as boundless dreamscapes. She meticulously tailors her compositions to the lyrical leaps and irregular rhythms of consciousness. On the album "Birds and Bells," Sørensen continually experiments with the spatial depth of the music, inviting the audience to perceive the pieces from shifting and unusual perspectives. As glissandi drift through the ensemble sound and composed echoes reverberate, a superb pan-Scandinavian ensemble under Christian Eggen delivers an outstanding interpretation.
