Pieces that have blown you away recently

[relm1]

Lately, I've been enjoying the symphonies of Ib Nørholm.  He composed 13 symphonies, the first half are relatively traditional and later half explore serialism.  They are generally dark and tense but concise.  Here is the 9th symphony.

Yes, I like that, thanks.  I think Nørholm has passed me by because in my fuddled brain he got confused with Nørgård - inexcusable really, as I know Per Nørgård's symphonies quite well.  So more listening needed .  Two facts about his chronology that appeal to me - he and Nielsen only overlapped by a few months, and his symphonies began to appear roughly when I was born.
