Sommerkoncert: Christina Bjørkøe - Kendte og ukendte perler

**English below**
Glyptotekets sommerkoncerter præsenterer endnu engang verdensklassemusikere blandt romerske guder og helte i museets stemningsfulde Festsal.
Per Nørgård døde sidste år, 92 år gammel, som sin generations mest betydningsfulde danske komponist. Han skrev ikke blot banebrydende symfonier, korværker og kammermusik – han stod også for musikken til Gabriel Axels Oscar-vindende film Babettes gæstebud og genbrugte meget af musikken i andre værker. Selv om Nørgård skrev klaverstykket Ferskenblomst med undertitlen Fjernøstlig blues tilbage i 1976, så blev det aldrig opført i komponistens egen levetid og er faktisk først uropført tidligere i år af netop Christina Bjørkøe.
Hvor Per Nørgård boltrede sig i mange genrer, skrev Frédéric Chopin aldrig et eneste værk, hvor hans eget instrument, klaveret, ikke var en del af lydbilledet. Christina Bjørkøe, som bl.a. har studeret på Juilliard School of Music i New York og nu er en af landets mest fremtrædende solister, viser os to sider af Chopin; den intime nattestemning i hans nocturner og hele det virtuose udtræk i det store koncertformat. Her i komponistens eget arrangement, hvor solisten ikke blot skal spille sin sædvanlige solostemme, men samtidig udgøre et helt orkester også.

Familiar and Unknown Gems
Once again, the Classical Summer Concerts are delighted to present a range of world-class musicians, performing amongst the Roman gods and heroes in the Glyptotek’s atmospheric Central Hall.
Per Nørgård passed away last year at the age of 92, as the most significant Danish composer of his generation. He not only wrote groundbreaking symphonies, choral works, and chamber music - he also composed the score for Gabriel Axel’s Academy Award-winning film Babette’s Feast and reused much of that music in other works. Although Nørgård wrote the piano piece Peach Blossom, subtitled Far Eastern Blues, back in 1976, it was never performed during his lifetime and was in fact only premiered earlier this year by Christina Bjørkøe.
While Per Nørgård explored a wide range of genres, Frédéric Chopin never wrote a single work in which his own instrument, the piano, was not part of the soundscape. Christina Bjørkøe - who has studied at the Juilliard School of Music in New York and is now one of Denmark’s leading soloists - reveals two sides of Chopin: the intimate, nocturnal atmosphere of his nocturnes and the full virtuoso brilliance of the grand concerto form. Here presented in the composer’s own arrangement, where the soloist must not only perform the usual solo part but also take on the role of an entire orchestra.
