På CD-en «Light Shall Shine» fremfører organist Anders Eidsten Dahl tre verk av Herman Vogt på det storslagne Carsten Lund-orgelet i Bragernes kirke. Utgivelsen er blitt til gjennom et samarbeid mellom utøver og komponist som strekker seg over 10 år. Musikken spenner over en stor palett i tonespråket, alt fra en enkel og ganske naivistisk musikk, til kompleks polyfoni.

On the CD “Light Shall Shine” organist Anders Eidsten Dahl performs three works of Herman Vogt on the magnificent Carsten Lund organ in Bragernes Church. The release is the result of a collaboration over more than ten years between the performer and the composer. The music spans a wide palette in its tonal language, everything from simple and naivist music to complex polyphony. 

 

 

«Eirik the Viking» har vært artistnavnet til tubaist Eirik Gjerdevik siden han studerte i Manchester på 90-tallet. Det er også tittelen på hans nye CD, hvor tittelsporet er komponert av Torstein Aagaard-Nilsen, som Gjerdevik har hatt et mangeårig samarbeid med. 

 

 

‘The trumpet is an instrument of sin while the cornet belongs to the angels.’ This quotation is generally attributed to Herbert Lincoln Clarke, possibly the greatest cornet-player of all time. In this celebration of the cornet and the wind band tradition, he accordingly gets to both open and close the programme with his two pieces The Debutante and Bride of the Waves. The American Clarke was for more than 20 years, from 1893 until 1917, solo cornet-player with the most famous of wind ensembles: the Sousa Band. His successor in the band, Frank Simon, is also represented on this disc, along with other leading notables of wind band music between c. 1850-1950, such as the Australian Percy Code and John Hartmann, born in Prussia but mainly active in England. Several of these sparkling and virtuosic pieces have been arranged especially for the present combination of Ole Edvard Antonsen and the Royal Norwegian Navy Band, including Ole Bull’s The Herdmaiden’s Sunday (Sæterjentens søndag), Grieg’s In the Hills (Ved Rondane) and Dinicu’s Hora staccato, usually heard on the violin.
