| Disc No: 6.226037 | When the music magazine Gramophone selected a CD release of Per Nørgård’s music as its Critics’ Choice in 2004, the reviewer said that “if the music of today is to have any tomorrow, Nørgård will surely be part of it.” And now that monumental status is consolidated by a unique collaboration between the Danish composer and three of the absolute hot shots of our time in contemporary music at the international level: the acclaimed English pianist and composer Rolf Hind and his two co-conspirators, the violinist David Alberman and the pianist Nicolas Hodges. The works on the CD Secret Melodies have exquisite poetic titles that could make anyone dream. At the same time this is music whose execution demands players equal to the challenge, with the major work Achilles and the Tortoise as one of the absolute pianistic trials of strength in contemporary music. But above all Nørgård’s music – at once esoteric and organic – offers experiences of a kind that seems to defy time and place. And with Hind, Alberman and Hodges at the helm Per Nørgård has found a virtuosity and a profound musical empathy that fully honour his subtle demands of ‘his’ musicians. Hear for yourself how Per Nørgård’s piano and chamber music has achieved its full resonance with Hind and Co. on the CD Secret Melodies. |
