Composer and organist Rued Langgaard felt at odds with his Danish contemporaries... and he didn't keep it a secret. Langgaard was a prolific composer, but his dissonant personality separated him from the Danish musical establishment. His work wasn't truly recognized until after his death. Tune in for more about Rued Langgaard's life and music on Tuesday's Performance Today.
