CD with new Nordic music - 5 €
In the series "The Sound of the World in Chamber Music Impressions“, musicians from the Deutsche Oper Berlin presented a whole range of chamber music works from the Nordic Countries in the season from autumn 2000 to June 2001. The audience could listen to works of famous classical composers such as Jean Sibelius, Edvard Grieg or Carl Nielsen, but could also gain insight into the less well-known modern period represented by Atli Ingólfsson or Johan Jeverud. Not everyone knows that Sibelius was a Finn, Grieg a Norwegian and Nielsen a Dane, and it is not often that you can hear works of the two young composers from Iceland and Sweden. The concert series provided a good opportunity to present the special chamber music sound of all the Nordic countries. For a sixth - joint - concert, composers from the five Nordic countries were asked to compose a special music piece. Four of the works did in fact receive their world premiere, while the composition of the Norwegian Arne Nordheim had its German premiere. It was chosen in honour of the composer’s 70th birthday in 2001. The individual concerts could be realised with the support of the national music information centres. The musicians and other persons involved in the concert enthusiastically decided to have a CD made of the joint concert, which the Nordic Embassies present to you here. The recordings took place in the studios of Sender Freies Berlin (SFB). A 15-minute film about the architecture of the Nordic Embassies. Picture postcards with motifs of the embassy complex are available in the Felleshus/Pan Nordic Building (20 cent each or 1 € for 6). At the reception you can also buy various books on the architecture of the complex, including: Phone + 49 30 - 5050-0 info@nordicembassies.org |
