About
Since the beginning of his career Per Nørgård (b. 1932) has composed music for all kinds of instruments, but the piano is probably the one he has remained closest to. Illustrating the development of the ‘universe of the Northern mind’ as well as early influences by both Bach and Stravinsky, the acclaimed pianist Niklas Sivelöv presents a unique portrait of Nørgård’s earliest musical thinking, including world premiere recordings of the Sonata determinata, Miniature Concerto G Major and Trifoglio.

Awards and reviews
March 2018
The Sonata determinate (1949/50) is already gritty, its craggy central slow movement beautifully delivered by Sivelöv. Other delights include a set of three incredibly touching intermezzi (Trifoglio, 1954) and the Sonata in One Movement Op 6, recalling Holmboe and Sibelius. The concluding Toccatais pure joy. Dacapo’s recording is splendid, offering great presence.
