Each composer has their own language, and I try to meet the challenges, even if at first sight, they appear impossible.

Denmark is, of course is very much like Germany: in terms of culture, the same kind of thinking, etc.

Many people used to call me a child prodigy, but I never thought that. I knew that I had learned everything, that I had very good circumstances.

To me, the advantage of the recorder is that it is so natural. I love the fact that it is just a piece of wood, that there are almost no mechanics involved.

Of course, the recorder will never have the repertoire of the piano or the violin.

It is important to note that the world changes and that perception of music changes as well.

I have always personally preferred to think of what is more difficult for my instrument, and not what is the most natural or the easiest. I enjoy the challenges - especially those that come with composers who have written contemporary music for the recorder.
