Per Norgard: Symphonies Nos. 2 & 6;

Stemming from an urge to explore the unexplained phenomena of the world and the possibilities of music, Per Norgards symphonies are milestones in their own right. Per Norgards work is characterized by an unremitting curiosity. His urge to try new ideas and to rethink those that already exist continually alters his way of writing, all without ever losing or betraying his inner voice. (Siemens Music Prize organizers) The Oslo Philharmonic, conducted by John Storgards, presents Norgards symphonies 2 and 6 on this new release.
