New Release from Arve Tellefsen and The Nidaros Cathedral Boys Choir<\/p>\n
The combination of Arve Tellefsen\u00b4s seductive violin playing and boys’ choir performances, under the steady leadership of conductor Bj\u00f8rn Moe, is a heavenly combination. Musicians from the Trondheim Symphony Orchestra adds to a vital and harmonious release. The repertoire range from the sacred to the profane, from opera to musicals and from Christmas songs to folk tunes. It includes works such as Schubert’s "Ave Maria", popular classics such as "Greensleeves" and Scandinavian church music. The release has its grand finale with Rodgers and Hammerstein’s "You’ll Never Walk Alone", taken from the musical Carousel, but perhaps best known as the supporter song of the Liverpool football club. Aria may be seen as a Christmas album, although only two of the songs are Christmas songs. The release exceeds the expectations often associated with the Christmas music genre, but here is plenty of the quiet afterthought and peace that belongs to the season!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In 15 songs carefully chosen from the classical repertoire, spanning from the sacred to the profane, the operatic to the musical, Aria provides the listener with a wondrous and magical landscape of introspective beauty.<\/p>\n
Opening with Schubert\u2019s \u201cAve Maria\u201d, sung by Nidardomens Guttekor, and followed by the aria \u201cLascia Ch\u2019io Pianga\u201d from H\u00e4ndel\u2019s \u201cRinaldo\u201d in which the violin replaces the traditional soprano, we are taken on a musical journey that includes Scandinavian sacred music such as \u201cN\u00e5 gjester himlen jorden\u201d by Carl-Andreas N\u00e6ss, and \u201cEt lite barn av Davids hus\u201d by Egil Hovland, to the more established pieces such as the Intermezzo from Cavalleria Rusticana and Lacrimosa from Mozart\u2019s Requiem.<\/p>\n
The journey continues, with Norway\u2019s most popular and respected violinists Arve Tellefsen performing ethereal arrangements of the folk melodies \u201cGreensleeves\u201d and \u201cEl Cant dels Ocells\u201d (Folklore Catalan). Christmas repertoire is also included, with \u201cN\u00e4r juldagsmorgon glimmar\u201c and \u201cJulefl\u00f8yten\u201c. Finally, after a tender version of the ever-popular \u201cWiegenlied\u201d by Brahms, we are treated to a rousing \u201cYou\u2019ll Never Walk Alone\u201d, written by Rodgers and Hammerstein, from the musical Carousel.<\/p>\n
Nidarosdomens Boy\u2019s Choir is one of Norway\u2019s finest male choirs, based in Trondheim and under the leadership of conductor Bj\u00f8rn Moe. This is their third recording release with Arve Tellefsen, continuing their highly successful union of quality performance and repertoire carefully selected to display their many talents. Soloists and musicians from the Trondheim Symphony Orchestra are also featured. With Aria, the melodic repertoire is central, artfully combined to balance the instrument with the voice, and to give the listener a total, moving experience.<\/p>\n
