Celebrating his 90th birthday in 2022, Per Norgård is undoubtedly one of the most important Danish composers since Nielsen. His important production that covers all genres is a highly personal travel document based on his endless incursions through the sonic labyrinths of this world. Based on material from Norgård's viola concerto from 1986, Three Nocturnal Movements for violin, cello and orchestra came about on the initiative of the violinist Peter Herresthal and the cellist Jakob Kullberg, two of his long-term collaborators. The work was creatively developed for two soloists by Kullberg, who decided on the form of the movement after making a selection of musical fragments described as 'nocturnal'. Dedicated to the conductor John Storgårds, Symphony No. 8 appears bright, transparent while it's atmosphere is somewhat mysterious and filled with tension. This symphony, his most recent work in this genre, can be compared to latter works from other Nordic composers like Sibelius and Nielsen. Finally, Lysning, a short piece for string orchestra, has been described by Norgård as a 'glade' and is made of an alternance of darker and brighter variations of the same musical ideas heard in different instrumental colourings and nuances.
