Vladimir Ashkenazy: I am very fond of Scandinavian mentality, the way people express themselves and their spiritual world. It has always been a very special treat for me to conduct and play Scandinavian music and it is a particular pleasure to introduce to the world a very talented Norwegian composer whose music in its own way is a genuine reflection of his world.

FJB’s music is often described as melodious, accessible and dramatic, yet with a highly original quality. Beppe himself tries to explain: It is really as simple as it is complicated – I breathe in what life has to offer, and breathe out what I have to offer life. I have given up trying to grasp what actually happens in the process from impression to expression. In his music Flint Juventino Beppe reveals himself as a person who has experienced that life consists of light and dark, but unlike the majority of us he approaches both with a similar undaunted decisiveness; it adds an extra quality to his music: the conviction of an eyewitness.

SONaR – A celestial sonic world of harps, strings and angels. Composed and performed specially for the surround sound format.

vere meininga – concerto for harp and strings
det var mjukt – for soprano and harp
dette blanke no – concerto for harp and angels

“SONaR is a sound signal sent out to create an echo from whatever it may encounter and thus reveal the unknown. I think we all send our symbolic sonars into physical and spiritual space, in a constant search for meaning. At least I do. And my life and music represent both this child’s sonars and the universe’s ever-unfolding answer.” – Magnar Åm
“The music is insistent, powerful and existential, bringing out the dramatic qualities of the instrument. In the cadenza the electric harp with all its effects carries on a dialogue with its acoustic counterpart, as if the new and the ancient world were melting together; a Mongolian shepherd’s song winds its way between the strings.” – Ellen Sejersted Bødtker

DIVERTIMENTI features challenging string orchestra repertoire by Britten, Bacewicz, Bjørklund, and Bartók’s Divertimento. It’s the first music-only commercial recording on Blu-ray, marking a world premiere. The divertimento genre, originating in the 19th century, was meant for light, cheerful social occasions. Typically scored for small string ensembles, divertimenti were uncomplicated and elegant. Over time, the genre evolved, influencing virtuosic chamber music styles. Modern composers have refined the divertimento into a chamber-symphonic showpiece. The album showcases a diverse selection of technically demanding works. TrondheimSolistene highlights the genre’s historical and contemporary significance. DIVERTIMENTI blends tradition with innovation in a groundbreaking format.
