Vagn Holmboe: Solo & Chamber Works for Guitar – Played with love and expertise
American Record Guide, March/April 2013
I was delighted to find this well-stuffed CD of his music in excellent performances. It’s beautifully crafted music, with expressive passages balanced with witty ones. It’s a beautifully balanced work, a real duo rather than a lead and an accompaniment, and Sivebaek and Hansen make a convincing case for it. The settings are beautiful, and the guitar part is made into a counter line rather than a simple accompaniment. Sivebaek and his colleagues play this music with love and expertise. I’m happy to have discovered it, and I’ll return to this disc often. Read more.
