Sl\u00e5ttebrekk returns with Schumann<\/p>\n
After a long period of silence a rumour reached us; Sigurd is playing again! In 2002 he gave an all Schumann programme during the Oslo Chamber Music Festival. And here he is back with mesmerizing readings of Schumann on CD. No less than total instrumental control is a must for these piano works. Divine detail, passages and moments are woven into the music, waiting for the one who can make them appear. This was the challenge that brought Sl\u00e5ttebrekk back to the recording studio.<\/p>\n

In 1997 Simax Classics proclaimed: \u2018The first and last recording of Sigurd Sl\u00e5ttebrekk \u2013 Piano Works by Ravel (PSC 1112).\u2019 We were very exited to release a fantastic debut recording by a rare musical talent, but sad to inform that with this disc he would now totally withdraw from musical activities altogether. So where the critics:<\/p>\n
And he did quit. Did not play at all for several years. After a long period of silence a rumour reached us; Sigurd is playing again! In 2002 he gave an all Schumann programme during the Oslo Chamber Music Festival. And here he is back with mesmerizing readings of Schumann on CD. No less than total instrumental control is a must for these piano works. Divine detail, passages and moments are woven into the music, waiting for the one who can make them appear. This was the challenge that brought Sl\u00e5ttebrekk back to the recording studio.<\/p>\n
– The lyrical and introvert sections are presented with the most subtle and thoughtful sound on earth. Melancholy the way it should be \u2013 sad and lovely at the same time. This is Sl\u00e5ttebrekk at his best, floating across order and bar-lines \u2013 into the freedom of music.
