Description
Organist Harald Herresthal features works by four major contemporary Norwegian composers on this recording - Knut Nystedt, Conrad Baden, and two who have died in this century, Arne Nordheim and Egil Hovland. The version of Nordheim's Response III also includes two percussionists, Peter Kates and Terje Viken.
Norwegian composer Knut Nystedt (b. 1915) is known for his orchestral and symphonic works, concertos, chamber music, and church music for choir and organ. In the years after the war, his choral works and his role as a long-standing conductor of the Norwegian Soloists Choir were of crucial significance for the development of Norwegian choral music. In the 1950s the orchestral works, chamber music and many of the organ pieces by Conrad Baden (1908-1989) acquired a more neoclassical, free-tonal musical language. Egil Hovland, who died in 2012, is best known for his sacred music, including hymns, organ and choir works. Arne Nordheim (1931-2010) was one of the pioneers of electro-acoustic music in Norway. Inspired by Karlheinz Stockhausen's Kontakte, Nordheim wrote several variations on the work.
As an organist, teacher, music reviewer and academic author, Harald Herresthal has played an active role in Norwegian musical life since the 1970s. He has worked closely with all of the composers featured on this CD, and several of the pieces are dedicated to him. He is Professor of Church Music at the Norwegian Academy of Music and chairman of the Arne Nordheim Centre. In 2001 Herresthal was awarded the Lindeman Prize.
Personnel: Harald Herresthal (organ), Peter Kates, Terje Viken (percussion)
