Press
A fine, committed performance (...). Ondine's sound is of demonstration quality. Recommended.
Guy Rickards, Gramophone, April 2000
Among present-day Scandinavian composers, the Finn Pehr Henrik Nordgren is clearly an important, urgent voice. (...) Disturbing, intermittently impressive music, excellently performed and vividly recorded.
