"Recording of the Month. Two very different works, supremely well played, conducted and recorded; surely one of the year's finest symphonic releases ..."
- MusicWeb International
"... a panoptic view of this exceptional composer. It sounds like fun to play and the Vienna Philharmonic, conducted by Sakari Oramo, make light work of its sharp turns and mood swings. If you discover only one living composer in 2014, make it Per Nørgård."
- Sinfini Music
"Editor's Choice ... great to see this superabundantly imaginative music being taken up by an institution as traditionally minded as the Vienna Philharmonic ... the premiere recording of No. 8 is a must-have, not only for followers of Nørgård and the 21st century symphony. Dacapo's recording is as beautiful as the Vienna Phil's playing ..."
- Gramophone
With this world premiere recording, the Vienna Philharmonic offers new perspectives on the most visionary voice of Nordic music and one of the greatest symphonists of our time, Danish composer Per Nørgård. Conducted on this occasion by Finnish Sakari Oramo, these performances of Nørgård’s two milestone symphonies, composed almost six decades apart, are the legendary orchestra’s first recording of new Nordic music.
