Gunnar Berg (1909-1989) was a pioneer of serialist music in Denmark. He was the first Danish composer to attend the famous summer courses in Darmstadt and his meeting with composers like Honegger, Messiaen, Stockhausen and Boulez confirmed his personal experiences changing away from the classicizing style of his Danish predecessors. This CD features Gunnar Berg´s work Éclatements, a perfect example of his atonal music that is both colourful, complex and full of explosive energy. Berg never managed to complete his work, which is presented in its full length for the first time on this release.
