About
Per Nørgård (b. 1932) is one of the most original artists in the cultural life of Denmark. Here, his string quartets nos. 7, 8, 9 and 10 are presented in their world première recording. There’s a special chemistry when the Kroger Quartet play music by Per Nørgård. In fact the renowned old composer is so enthusiastic about the young ensemble that he has dedicated two of his most recent string quartets to them. The tenth quartet, Harvest-Timeless, was in fact composed as a dialogue with the musicians themselves.

Awards and reviews
14th June 2008
Per Nørgård's string quartets may not provide an easy listen, but in the array of sounds and emotional states they present, they are never short of compelling...The Kroger Quartet, which has worked extensively with the composer, ably brings out the music's sense of spontaneity and close dialogue, even argument, between the four instruments.
