Reviews
“Pianist finds hidden access to a beautiful parallel world” … “hypersensitive solo playing” – Politiken

“Katrine Gislinges piano playing
is full of fluency and sensitivity” – Gramophone

Schumann´s piano concert with Gustavo Dudamel
“Accuracy and poetry”

Bent Sørensen won the Nordic composer´s price in 1996. “His musical language is undeniable of the present day, both aesthetically and technically. The music does, however, appear to be pervaded with memories, the wisdom of experience and old dreams, of the inevitability of transition and parting. It is a flickering, glittering world where things seem to disappear at the slightest touch.”
– Karl Aage Rasmussen
