Trondheim Symfoniorkester
Daniel Reuss, conductor
"This is great stuff! And, like violinist Thorsen, bassist Göran Sjölin is an ideal interpreter who really seems to enjoy the chance to dig into a well-conceived, serious starring role. We're familiar with conductor Daniel Reuss from his many very fine recordings of choral and orchestral music, and he certainly doesn't disappoint here, expertly managing his soloists and the first-rate Trondheim Symphony Orchestra, making a case for these works as strongly as could be imagined. The sound, which this label prides itself on, justifies the label's claims. Highly recommended!"

Marianne Thorsen is widely known for her recording of MOZART violin concertos with TrondheimSolistene. Now she demonstrates what beauty that lies in the Violin Concerto of our classical contemporary composer Ståle Kleiberg. Göran Sjölin brings the sonic qualities of the double bass into new light, and both solo concertos are supported by a widely staged Trondheim Symphony Orchestra in an exceptional surround sound recording.
If we seek a stylistic reference point for Kleiberg's music, it is perhaps not fanciful to refer to its recovery of certain qualities that we associate with northern Europe during the first half of the twentieth century. Composers as different as Sibelius, Nielsen and Vaughan Williams all established unique dialogues with central European and French modernists, but in ways that allowed for a tone of lofty idealism, even at times of frank romanticism that was unavailable to the modernists themselves. Kleiberg seems to continue and to extend dialogues of this kind. He has never been a slave to fashion, but it is striking that the neo-romanticism that is his most natural mode of expression, has once again become a part of our general culture.
