His music was my discovery of 2008; see article Lasse Thoresen &amp; musical insularity (which applies to Norgard too):- <a href="http://www.musicalpointers.co.uk/articles/generaltopics/ThoresenArticle.html" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://www.musicalpointers.co.uk/articles/generaltopics/ThoresenArticle.html">http://www.musicalpointers....</a><br>Dr Peter Woolf (Editor Musical Pointers UK)</p>Peter WoolfWed, 25 Feb 2009 08:03:46 -0000
