Da Capo began its recordings of these works that are so central to Nørgård’s development seven years ago, with Thomas Dausgaard conducting the Danish National Symphony Orchestra in the Third and Seventh. Sakari Oramo and the Vienna Philharmonic added the First and Eighth Symphonies in 2014 and now John Storgårds’ pair of discs (which have to be bought separately) complete the cycle, with exemplary performances from the Oslo Philharmonic in crystalline recordings that fasten on every sonic detail in the scores. 
There’s something almost miraculous about the way Finnish conductor John
Storgårds has brought this music so finely and compellingly into focus.
At times, listening to these quixotically vibrant, multi-layered
scores, Jackson Pollock at his craziest has come to mind; but trying to
find reassurring form can induce vertigo. ... And the details – it isn’t
just the clarity, it’s the expressiveness of it all that impresses
again and again. 
It was about time we had new recordings of these symphonies, works that
are absolutely worthy of reappraisal by new generations even in their
relative youth. These are magnificent performances, presented with
comprehensive booklet-notes by Cornelius and an introduction by
Storgårds himself.
