"... the performance from Oslo Philharmonic and John Storgårds is absolutely gripping ... the recording is a stunner, too, with tremendous impact and immediacy."
- BBC Radio 3
The Oslo Philharmonic Orchestra and conductor John Storgårds explore the symphonies of Per Nørgård with this first volume in a series of two. On the programme are both early and late works: in the Second Symphony, the composer unfolds his famous infinity principle euphorically and almost psychedelically, while the Sixth Symphony displays the mature Nørgård’s exploratory and playful tendencies.
"... recording (his symphonies) with the great Oslo Philharmonic and the brilliant producer Preben Iwan has been like a continuation of a beautiful dream for me. The recordings ... were simply excellent sessions, with fully committed, focused and wonderful people ... I can say without any doubt that for me, Nørgård is the greatest symphonist of our time. All his symphonies are individual, concentrated masterpieces."
- John Storgårds
