This CD is dedicated to the shorter of Nørgård’s piano compositions and can be viewed as a to Dacapo’s acclaimed recording of other and larger the Nørgård piano works, “Secret Melodies” (8226037, released 2007).
The works on this CD, featuring Danish pianist Erik Kaltoft, are 31 short tracks found in six different works that are either personal commissions or sketches - now unveiled for the public. The main attraction is surely the suite “Animals in Concert” with the charming reworking of the famous Beatles’ tune “Blackbird”.
