In this series of world premiere recordings of the symphonic music of Knudåge Riisager (1897-1974), you get to know the charming Danish composer through a genre he once tried to 'kill off ', yet at the same time refused to abandon. The Fourth and Fifth Symphonies, recorded here along with the Sinfonia concertante and the entertaining Summer Rhapsody, show Riisager as a searching, unprejudiced composer for whom the classical form types, despite all opposition, kept their attraction and fascination.
“All this music is unchallenging and easy to listen to on a first hearing. Most of it bears repeated listening too...We are fortunate indeed to have such worthwhile music available on disc...Highly recommended.” International Record Review
