Kai Grinde MyrannAbout
Norway’s biggest newspaper Aftenposten, describes the work as “Heavenly! Iberg’s concept gave us a night we will never forget!” An all-night Concerto grosso for five soloists, narrator and symphony orchestra; extensive, grand-scale and correspondingly powerful - a new Das Lied von der Erde inspired by Gustav Mahler’s iconic art piece.
The piece consists of 9 movements. Vocal artist Sidsel Endresen narrates the poems together with Liu Tiegang, actor and leader of the National Theater of China in Beijing. Elise Batnes’s interpretation of Tale of Sorrowful Song is outstanding. Christian Ihle Hadland’s piano-playing is equally poignant in Lotus Dance, while Marianne Beate Kielland and Frank Havroy spellbind us in Long Autumn Night contrasted by Tom Ottar Andreassen’s alto flute, all safely guided by conductor Kai Grinde Myrann.
