On this deeply moving and artistically ambitious release, the acclaimed vocal ensemble Nordic Voices and the dynamic period ensemble Nivalis Barokk present a bold new interpretation of Membra Jesu Nostri by Dietrich Buxtehude, interwoven with Buxtehude Echoes, seven new instrumental meditations by contemporary Norwegian composer Nils Henrik Asheim. 

Fiolinens og elektronikkens lydverden står kanskje ikke så langt fra hverandre som man umiddelbart kunne tenke. På fiolinisten Karin Hellqvists debutplate på LAWO Classics blir vi presentert for fem soloverker av fremragende komponister som hun har samarbeidet tett med, og som utforsker, framhever, angriper og utvisker motsetningene mellom fiolinlyd og elektronisk lyd på forskjellige måter. 

 

 

Harpist Ellen Bødtker's latest album offers newly composed music set to the poetry of Jan Erik Vold and Henrik Wergeland. This unique collaboration takes a new direction, featuring a string quartet and percussion. Jan Erik Vold's vocals seamlessly weave in and out of the music, creating a cohesive musical narrative. Wergeland's texts are selected with a musical and thematic perspective, while Vold adds his contributions from his rich body of work, providing a commentary on Wergeland's themes.
