As something of a Nørgårdophile, I was delighted to be able to download this this morning – many thanks, Simon! Interestingly, the middle movement quotes directly from the corresponding movement of his 8th symphony (that circling three-note motif, including accompaniment…although I’m not familiar with Remembering Child, so am not discounting the latter as the ultimate source). This leads me to wonder whether Nørgård has any plans to do battle with “the curse of nine”, although, given that he’s pushing 84, one could forgive him for not tempting fate!
