Nørgård: Symphonies Nos. 1 & 8

With this world premiere recording, the Vienna Philharmonic offers new perspectives on the most visionary voice in Nordic music and one of the greatest symphonists of our time, Danish composer Per Norgard (b. 1932). Conducted on this occasion by Sakari Oramo, these performances of Norgard's Symphonies 1 and 8 - two milestones composed with almost six decades between them - are the legendary orchestra's first recording of new Nordic music.
