Immerse yourself in the rich, orchestral world of Harald Sæverud with this captivating album, released on February 1, 2006, by BIS Records. Spanning a little over an hour, this collection showcases Sæverud's mastery of composition, blending traditional Norwegian folk elements with classical sophistication.
The album opens with the dramatic "Overtura appassionata," setting the stage for a journey through Sæverud's diverse musical landscape. The "Divertimento No. 1" offers a delightful contrast, with its four movements taking you from a lively march to a tender amoroso, culminating in a set of continuous variations that display Sæverud's intricate craftsmanship.
Folk-inspired pieces like "Gjaetlevise-Variasjoner" (Goat Song Variations) and "Slatter og stev fra Siljustol" (Tunes and Dances from Siljustol) highlight Sæverud's deep connection to his Norwegian heritage. The "Siljuslatten" (Siljudance) is a standout, with its rhythmic vitality and infectious energy.
Throughout the album, Sæverud's unique voice shines, making this a compelling exploration of his orchestral works. Whether you're a longtime admirer of Sæverud or a newcomer to his music, this album offers a rewarding listening experience.
