Sardine Sarcophagus (Sardinsarkofagen) (1994)

Rabe: Sardine Sarcophagus. Commissioned by the Music Factory, which is based in an old sardine factory in the Norwegian city of Bergen. The twist is that in Seville every year a sardine is buried as part of the Passion ritual.
BBC Music Magazine: Critic's Choice, outstanding: Penguin Guide 3 stars; Music Web International: Hardenberger is totally at ease with this repertoire and I have heard few players over the years with his sheer power and presence'.
