Sonate For 2 Klaverer Opus 51 / Concerto For 2 Klaverer Opus 334 / Concerto Nr. 2 For Fløte Og Orkester Opus 388 / Quartetto Nr. 3 For 4 Fløjter Opus 368

Released in 1982 by the Dansk Musik Antologi (D.M.A.), this recording serves as a significant archival document of the prolific output of Danish composer Niels Viggo Bentzon. During the mid-20th century, Bentzon established himself as one of the most fecund figures in contemporary Nordic music, often pushing stylistic boundaries with a distinctive synthesis of neo-classicism and modernist vigor. This compilation was curated to showcase the diversity of his creative approach, spanning works for multiple pianos and flute instrumentation.

The production highlights collaborations between prominent Danish performers of the era, including pianist Anker Blyme and flutist Toke Lund Christiansen, supported by the Aarhus By-Orkester under the baton of Ole Schmidt. The selection reflects a period of heightened interest in preserving the legacy of Scandinavian composers through dedicated recording series, positioning Bentzon’s complex structures within the broader history of 20th-century European chamber and orchestral music. The album received moderate attention within academic and classical music circles, valued primarily for its documentation of rare works that might otherwise have lacked recorded representation.
