In his piano works, Thomas Agerfeldt Olesen manages to unite tradition with innovation. The centrepiece of this collection, an extensive piano sonata, reveals his musical imagination in all its unrestrained complexity and introspection.
These works, spanning several years, showcase Olesen playing with form, wrestling with artistic crises, and grappling with seemingly irreconcilable contrasts. The 6 Sonatas playfully reinvent classical forms, while the Small Miracle Prelude ingeniously reimagines Bach – performed by British pianist Rolf Hind, a specialist in 20th- and 21st-century music.
