Halvor Haug\u00b4s natural pathos interpreted by the English Chamber Orchestra<\/p>\n
The Norwegian Halvor Haug is one of the most interesting and original symphonic composers alive today. On this album the prominent English Chamber Orchestra and Norrk\u00f6ping Symphony Orchestra, with conductor Ole Kristian Ruud, performs four of Haug\u00b4s deep-felt and at times gloomy orchestral pieces.<\/p>\n
Haug\u00b4s music has a certain natural pathos. Everything is charged with emotion, and rife with feeling. In the Third Symphony we are witness to an incredible, inscrutable diversity, all brought about by a simple cell of four notes. A diversity which is not exhausted in one work alone. The piece also features, towards the end of the piece, the song of a nightingale played from tape. His work \u201cSilence\u201d is a subtle exercise in sound and form. Apparently, Haug was trying to \u201cexpress my thoughts about stillness with an economy of means.\u201d Haug\u00b4s \u201cInsignia\u201d, on the other hand, is harsher, more dissonant than in his other works, perhaps representing the composer\u00b4s response to the craggy landscape of the Lofoten area. The album\u00b4s closing track \u201cFuruens Sang\u201d (\u201cSong of the Pines\u201d) was written after a period of intense grief resulting from the annihilation of the \u201cwonderful pine forest opposite my studio\u201d \u2013 a lament for human\u00b4s often disrespect for the nature.<\/p>\n
