During his own lifetime, Niels Viggo Bentzon (1919 -2000) became the very symbol of modern music in Denmark. An unstoppable creative force which, right from his breakthrough in the early 1940s, was in a category of his own. Per Salo , the pre pre-eminent Danish interpreter of Bentzon, here turns to Bentzon's huge scale piano cycle 'The Tempered Piano', with a personal compilation of preludes and fugues from the many volumes that Bentzon wrote with direct inspiration from Bach. Riotous digressions, musical worlds of unbridled fantasy, loosely constructed blowholes - everywhere Bentzon broke new ground - ground far from the golden mean.
