About
Composer Poul Rovsing Olsen was educated at the Royal Danish Academy of Music and subsequently in Paris, where he studied under the highly regarded teacher Nadia Boulanger and the renowned composer Olivier Messiaen.
Alongside his studies of classical music, Rovsing Olsen cultivated his passion for Oriental music and a great part of his life he dedicated to his professional work on ethnomusicology. His work on the music of distant countries also left its mark on Rovsing Olsen’s own music
The occasion which led to the composition of the title work of the album The Planets (1978) was the 50th anniversary of the finding of a block book from the second half of the 15th century with texts on the planets. Parts of the coloured drawings from the book, which is now owned by the National Gallery of Denmark, can be seen on the CD cover and booklet.
