Notes and Editorial Reviews
Poul Ruders' (b. 1949) music is characterized by a pronounced will to expression. It is stylistically varied and typically has a wide expressive register. Ruders' artistic development has taken him in various stylistic directions, as can be more than glimpsed in the works represented on this CD: three works for solo guitar, one for voice with guitar accompaniment and two for ensemble. The works on the CD range in time from 1973 to 1996.
