PER NØRGÅRD
Songs
Lars Thodberg Bertelsen, barytone

Per Nørgård, composer, piano

About
Per Nørgård’s piano songs to Danish texts - most of them recorded here - range from the first works of the 20-year-old newly-fledged composer to the present day. In a cross-section through his oeuvre the songs exhibit the melodious side of the composer and give hints of the currents of the period and the Danish poets who have inspired Nørgård over some fifty years.

Reviews
The level of inspiration is high, and the music springs from a keen lyrical impulse and strong feeling for the letter and the spirit of the poem.
