John Damgaard Madsen - Danish Piano Music

Review by Karoly Molnar

Danish Piano Music by John Damgaard Madsen is an outstanding album that showcases the beauty and complexity of Danish classical music. The album features a range of compositions from some of Denmark's most renowned composers, including Carl Nielsen, Niels Gade, and Edvard Grieg.

Madsen's performance is nothing short of exceptional, with each piece played with precision and emotion. His interpretation of Nielsen's "Chaconne" is particularly impressive, capturing the piece's haunting beauty and complex rhythms.

The album's selection of pieces is also noteworthy, with a mix of well-known works like Grieg's "Lyric Pieces" and lesser-known gems like Gade's "Fantasy Pieces." The result is a diverse and engaging collection that will appeal to both casual listeners and serious classical music enthusiasts.
