Norwegian composer Gunnar S\u00f8nstevold<\/p>\n
Gunnar S\u00f8nstevold is perhaps most famous for his work as a film composer. His music for several well-known Norwegian movies, such as \u201cNi liv\u201d (Nine Lives), \u201cEnglandsfarere\u201d (We leave for England), \u201cKampen om tungtvannet\u201d (The Battle for Heavy Water) and \u201cDet brenner i natt\u201d (The Flame), demonstrates his exceptional ability as a music dramatist. But his chamber musical works also shows a composer of a severe and exacting perfectionist. <\/p>\n
From the lively games in the back streets of Bergen to attempts to attain the long dissonant phrasing of Fartein Valen \u2013 within such a compass rings the music of Gunnar S\u00f8nstevold. Listening to the works on this disc we associate his music at times with jazz and at times with the Christmas tune of \u201cJingle Bells\u201d, at other times with Edvard Grieg\u00b4s \u201cSolveig\u00b4s Song\u201d or Fartein Valen\u00b4s \u201cChurchyard by the Sea\u201d. Performed by Sweden\u00b4s foremost ensemble of its type, the Stockholm Philharmonic Wind Quintet, with guest performances by Elisabeth S\u00f8nstevold on harp, this album is a perfect introduction to the chamber musical works of a composer who has had a considerable impact both on the Norwegian art musical world and Norwegian entertainment music.<\/p>\n
