Hear and Now - Per Norgard

Ivan Hewett travels to Copenhagen to hear the world premiere of celebrated Danish composer Per Norgard's Seventh Symphony. Recorded at the new, Jean Nouvel-designed Danish Radio Concert Hall, Norgard's work marks another phase in his compositional journey. Norgard explains the dream that inspired him to compose, the importance of 'interference' in his work and his struggle to compose music that he has never yet heard.
