About
A tribute in honour of the Danish Sound Explorer's composer's centenary. The Danish composer Axel Borup-Jørgensen (1924-2012) was one of the 20th century’s great “silent individualists.” Although largely self-taught, he was the first Danish composer who attended the Darmstadt Summer Courses for New Music. Without a doubt, the avant-garde of the sixties exerted a strong influence on Borup-Jørgensen’s sound world, but he never embraced any specific “ism,” following instead his own intuition and his extraordinary sense of organizing sound.

January 2025
While undeniably stylistically of the post-war modernist period, Borup-Jørgensen’s music possesses a very particular sensibility that marks his compositions as unique in the music of Northern Europe. Mette Due’s beautifully clear sound provides the perfect platform for its wider appreciation.
