Per Nørgård - Orchestral Works
APE/CUE + LOG | 220 MB | RS
Label: Dacapo | Catalog: 8.226014 | Year: 2003

This is a splendid disc of challenging but very beautiful music by a composer with a recognizably personal idiom...The sonics are simply perfect, ideally placing the orchestra in a warmly natural perspective. This is one of the best contemporary music discs to come along in quite a while. Very highly recommended. (10/10 Classics Today)

Per Nørgård - String Quartets 7-10
FLAC + CUE + Cover, No Log | 302 MB | RS
Label: Dacapo | Catalog: 8.226059 | Year: 2008

The musicians can play each in their own keys or their own rhythms, but for the listener who encounters the totality what is manifested is a quivering figure, an oscillating but quite clear gesture, in descending or ascending motion or arches. - Liner notes

Per Nørgård - Symphony No. 3, Concerto in due tempi
APE/CUE + LOG + Booklet | 325 MB | RS
Label: Chandos | Catalog: CHAN 9491 | Year: 1997

Sounds organized in such a fashion are pretty much guaranteed to be aesthetically pleasing, and that's why "Symphony No. 3" (1972-1975) is a veritable triumph. Since the entire work is ingenious sculpted out of these perfect shapes, then I would even dare to say that if someone doesn't enjoy this, they lack a certain humanity. - Christopher Culver, Amazon reviewer

APE/CUE + LOG | 283 MB | RS

Per Nørgård - Frostsalme
APE/CUE + LOG + Booklet | 223 MB | RS
Label: Chandos | Catalog: CHAN 10008 | Year: 2002

"Stefan Parkman's Danish National Choir is a superb ensemble, with a warm, rich sound and faultless technique. His occasional soloists and instrumental forces are likewise outstanding. They produce a vast array of striking effects, both choral and instrumental. The extreme complexity and difficulty of most of these pieces would overtax any but the most skilled prefessional ensembles." - Koob, ARG

Per Nørgård - Seadrift
APE/CUE + LOG | 236 MB | RS
Label: Dacapo | Catalog: CD 8.226067 | Year: 2009

Soprano Bente Vist gives a breathtaking performance; she sings angelically, with piercing purity, and makes Nørgård's stratospheric, punishingly extended lines seem like effortless emanations. Dacapo's sound perfectly captures the luminosity of the music and the performances. Highly recommended.

Label: Dacapo | Catalog: SACD 6.220547 | Year: 2009

“The performances under Thomas Dausgaard are presumably authoritative and sound just splendid. If you're looking for some really good contemporary music, challenging but rewarding, full of personality and integrity, then this powerfully engineered production offers a perfect opportunity to satisfy your craving."
