Ib Nørholm is…an excellent composer with a very individual style combining tonal and atonal techniques into extremely interesting structures and often-singable melodies.

This program of works for soprano and guitar by Ib Norholm shows humor, grace, passion, and excellent craft. Per Palsson’s guitar playing is precise and colorful, and Else Torp’s voice is beautiful and controlled. Stilleliv (Still Life), from 1968, is a set of five songs for soprano, guitar, and percussion with texts by Poul Borum. They are crystalline and witty…Blomster fra den Danske Poesis Flora (Flowers from the Flora of Danish Poetry) is…clever and good natured, and extremely well constructed. © 2012 American Record Guide Read complete review on American Record Guide online

…the composer could hardly wish for more elegant interpreters. Inevitably, Else Torp takes centre stage. In the more modernist pieces her straight tone allows for admirable clarity, while the tonal ones admit of judicious vibrato. Only in the music theatre piece could one have done with more abandon, with Euridice’s venom having still more bite. Ably seconded by her accompanists (with guitarist Per Pålsson enjoying his solo movements in the Orpheus cycle), she delivers polished, assured performances. © 2012 Gramophone Read complete review on Gramophone
