Two famous composers from two different countries
Louis Andriessen (picture) and Per Nørgård were both the most famous composers in their countries. The similarities end there, because the compositions of Dutchman Andriessen and Dane Nørgård had little in common stylistically.
Nørgård passed away May 2025 at the age of 92. In June 2025, the biography Groots is de liefde (Love is great) was published about Louis Andriessen, written by Jacqueline Oskamp.
