Per Nørgård: Symfoni nr. 7 (2004-2006)
My Symphony No. 7 was commissioned by The Danish Radio Symphony Orchestra, and was premiered in January 2009 – conducted by Thomas Dausgaard, for the opening of the Danish Radio´s new symphonic hall, Koncerthuset.
The symphony has three movements, last around 25 minutes, and is dedicated to the manager and artistic director of the orchestra Per Erik Veng.

Reviews
-
As with its two predecessors, this work confronts the perennial challenges of symphonic writing head-on – its three movements (lasting 27 minutes) bringing a Classical rigour and focus to bear on material that, in common with Nørgård's music these past two decades, has an aural and expressive spontaneity such as offers numerous possibilities but also a ready incitement to listening: the expected and unpredictable brought into a poised and constantly changing accord.
