Soprano Bente Vist gives a breathtaking performance; she sings angelically, with piercing purity, and makes Nørgård's stratospheric, punishingly extended lines seem like effortless emanations. Dacapo's sound perfectly captures the luminosity of the music and the performances. Highly recommended.

About
Heavenly beauty and redeeming joy: Per Nørgård’s vocal music from the 1970s explores the ordered harmony of the universe. Nova Genitura (“New birth”) and Fons Laetitiae (“Fountain of Joy”) grew out of Nørgård’s epoch-making third symphony and continued its homage to the Virgin Mary. Seadrift has a text by Walt Whitman and heralds the changes that appeared in Nørgård’s music a few years later. All three works were inspired by early music and make original use of instruments like lute, harpsichord and recorder. At the centre stands Bente Vist’s scintillatingly clear soprano voice.
