Bentzon. Komponist, pianist, provokatør

Niels Viggo Bentzon (1919-2000) var en ener. Han blev uddannet som klassisk pianist i 1941 og komponerede sidenhen sine egne værker. Endda i stor stil. I sine mest produktive perioder skrev han 15-20 af slagsen om året. Han var heller ikke ræd for at kaste sig ud i nye genrer eller eksperimenter. Bentzons værkliste rummer alt fra klavermusik, kammermusik, operaer, symfonier til happenings, hvor han smed kålhoveder i hovedet på publikum eller delte chokolade ud.00I Bentzon tegner Toke Lund Christiansen for første gang et mangefacetteret billede af den farverige og fandenivoldske Bentzon. Gennem sit virke som solofløjtenist i DR SymfoniOrkestret var Lund Christiansen med til at opføre en lang række af Bentzons værker og fik også lejlighed til at opbygge et nært venskab med ham. Dette unikke kendskab giver en sjælden indsigt i drivkraften bag en af Danmarks vigtigste komponister i det 20. århundrede. For Bentzons liv var ikke bare fyldt med stor musik og kunstneriske opture, men også med store nedture og alvorlige psykiske lidelser.00Biografien henvender sig både til den musikkyndige og den alment kulturelt interesserede læser. Og selv om nogle af os muligvis ikke har hørt om Niels Viggo Bentzon før nu, har vi alle sammen nok spidset ører til mindst et af hans værker. I 1984 komponerede Bentzon nemlig DSB?s velkendte lydsignal ud fra tonerne D-Es-B.

Niels Viggo Bentzon (1919-2000) was a soloist. He was trained as a classical pianist in 1941 and later composed his own works. Even in great style. In his most productive periods, he wrote 15-20 of sorts a year. Nor was he afraid to embark on new genres or experiments. Bentzon's work list includes everything from piano music, chamber music, operas, symphonies to happenings, where he tossed cabbage heads into the audience or shared chocolate. Through his work as solo flute player in the DR Symphony Orchestra, Lund Christiansen contributed to a large number of Bentzon's works and also had the opportunity to build a close friendship with him. This unique knowledge provides a rare insight into the driving force behind one of Denmark's most important composers in the 20th century. For Bentzon's life was not only filled with great music and artistic performances, but also with great downsides and serious mental disorders. The biography addresses both the music-savvy and the culturally interested reader. And although some of us may not have heard of Niels Viggo Bentzon before now, we all have probably pointed ears to at least one of his works. In 1984, Bentzon composed DSB's well-known audio signal from the D-Es-B tones.
