Had he written more music, Norwegian Ludvig Irgens-Jensen would be considered a great composer today. I have no doubt about it. This two-disc set contains most of his orchestral music without voices, and it’s glorious. Start with Disc 2, containing his single symphony, plus the Passacaglia. Self-critical to a genuinely unproductive degree, Irgens-Jensen separated the […]

[…] bridge between us that made of all sad when the class came to an end. What provoked these memories was the death of composer/conductor Pierre Boulez at age 90 whose recording served my entryway into the vast universe of great music we, perhaps wrongly, call “classical.” I’m startled when people ask me why my musical tastes are so “narrow” (I haven’t listened to pop music since 1970). I am still discovering wonderful music (Norwegian Ludwig Irgens Jenson (1894-1969) for example) that makes me realize I will be on this musical journey until the day I die. Thanks to my Aunt Lucile, her tenant whose name I, sadly, cannot remember, Claude Debussy, and Maestro Boulez, my life has been inestimably enriched.
