Diptych – Stein-Erik Olsen

The beauty of the guitar and flute

The intimate duo-setting of guitar and flute has rarely been more beautifully presented as on the album “Diptych”. Two of Norway´s premier solo performers on their instruments, Gro Sandvik and Stein-Erik Olsen, gets together to perform some of the 20th century´s most alluring works for this particular combination of instruments. Together they perform works from all parts of the world by composers such as Astor Piazzolla, Ravi Shankar and John W. Duarte, to mention a few.

Gro Sandvik and Stein-Erik Olsen has throughout the years frequently collaborated in chamber musical projects all over the world, and performed a range of newer works for flute and guitar. They have also teamed up for the album “L´espace entre nous”, consisting of ground breaking new music, also available on Simax Classics (PSC1268).
