Digital Booklet
|
This live album documents the world premiere of Norwegian pianist and composer Ketil Bjørnstad's A Passion For John Donne in Oslo in March 2012, showcasing the Oslo Chamber Choir. A highlight of the concert is the unique performance of Håkon Kornstad as both tenor saxophonist and classical tenor singer. Kornstad makes the challenging transition from saxophone improviser to operatic vocalist seem natural in this context and shines in both roles.
"After working with the texts of John Donne for more than 20 years, I still find new approaches to understanding what he wrote and I find music throughout. It is in the language, in the rhythm, in the silence between the sentences: a passionate quest for meaning and reconciliation. Donne's dramatic life is reflected in the texts and everywhere in them you will find the passion, melodies and sounds."
- Ketil Bjørnstad
