Extraordinarily concentrated music from the new, expanded ensemble led by Norwegian pianist composer Christian Wallumrod, which introduces three new string players - violinist Gjermund Larsen from the Norwegian folk tradition, classical and improvising cellist Tanja Orning, and Swiss baroque harpist Giovanna Pessi. Together, and along with the long-serving Arve Henriksen and Per Oddvar Johansen, they focus their resources on Wallumrod’s music. Not a note is wasted in these pieces. This is true ensemble music, uniquely nuanced. |
