Per Nørgård, pt. 2

Part Two of our deep-dive into the life and work of Danish composer Per Nørgård with Wise Music Group Creative Director Gill Graham, award-winning journalist, author and broadcaster Stephen Johnson and former Chief Executive of Sound & Music Susanna Eastburn. They discuss the mysteries of The Divine Circus, its relationship to Swiss artist Adolf Wölfli, and its precarious straddling of the knife edge between catastrophe and idyll. Listen to Nørgård’s sense of playfulness, Susanna’s unyielding love for Pastorale from Gabriel Axel’s Babette’s Feast film, and Nørgård himself’s sage, ominous composing advice to Stephen: “finish the piece of music you will, and you will not be happy!"
