Ensemble 96, Kjetil Almenning","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe word KIND embraces concepts of childlikeness and childishness in different languages, as well as suggesting friendliness and consolation. The project's subtitle was \"about children, for adults\". In keeping with Ensemble 96's main focus, KIND presents modern Norwegian and Nordic choral music. Per Nørgård and Jaakko Mäntyjärvi are already considered classics by a rapidly increasing audience, while Marcus Paus represents a younger generation of Norwegian composers with a growing interest in the choral medium. The more recent works on the disc set texts all of which have a certain melancholy, fear or unrest linked to childhood. The folk songs are a brave attempt to offer consolation in a remorseless world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBest Choral Performance 54th GRAMMY Nominee\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBest Surround Sound Album 54th GRAMMY Nominee\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Finnish composer Jaakko Mäntyjärvi first wrote the music to \"Die Stimme des Kindes\" without words. After some time he came across Nikolaus Lenau's poem in which Mäntyjärvi found moods and textures that corresponded with his own ideas. The piece sounds like an idyllic lullaby, yet it is also melancholic and dramatic. An uneasy adult finds consolation in the innocent sleep and gentle smile of a child.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike many other artists the Danish composer Per Nørgård found inspiration in the work of the schizophrenic writer Adolf Wölfli whose life and works are a magnificent testimony to human spiritual life. Combined with Rainer Maria Rilke's poem about spring the three movements of \"Wie ein Kind\" present a powerful encounter with childhood memories. Some of them are pleasant to recall, others less so.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is surprisingly little music for choir and string quartet. Ensemble 96 therefore decided to commission Marcus Paus to write a work for that particular constellation. In \"The Stolen Child\" the Norwegian composer has created a fairytale using simple, yet at the same time complex, means. Through its playful interaction with Yeats' poem the work takes us far afield to where the fairies lure the little child away from all the world's grief.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrank Havrøy has arranged several traditional Norwegian lullabies for choir. These timeless folk songs speak directly to us, and Havrøy's elegant arrangements give them an extra dimension.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEnsemble 96 is regarded one of the top chamber choirs in the world.

The beginning of the universe and the drama at Golgatha; medieval music and German baroque; the writings of Søren Kierkegaard - and a child's baptism in Oslo in 1987. Knut Nystedt draws his inspiration from all ages, creating his monumental choral art with a Christian perspective and wide, humanistic appeal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKnut Nystedt\u003c\/strong\u003e has a thorough knowledge of the choral medium! It might sound like a weak cliché, passed off as an advertisement for a recording of choral music. Note however, the following facts: when the legendary Olavsguttene boys’ choir gave their first concert in 1927, twelve year old Knut was among the trebles; the date of composition of the most recent work on this recording is 2003. We are in other words dealing with seventy-six years of choral experience. One would be hard put to find – in all the choral repertoire in the world – any other works based on longer experience, or a longer apprenticeship. Apprenticeship – an important concept in Nystedt’s work; it is perhaps a little disrespectful to call Nystedt an ”eternal student” – yet he has an unquenchable curiosity, ever keen to conquer new musical territory. Starting out with a style of nationally tinged neo-classicism – and always with Palestrina and Bach as his guiding lights – he has, without prejudice, adopted the avant-garde techniques of twentieth century music. \u003cem\u003eImmortal Bach\u003c\/em\u003e is reproduced for the very first time in a recording with the piece's five equal choirs in a full circle around the listener.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe first three lines of Bach's \"Komm, süsser Tod\" are sung, and then repeated – this time the parts are moved in time in relation to one another, coming together in a consonant major chord at the end of each line. The spatial element is an important part of Nystedt’s reworking to \"Immortal Bach\": the choir is divided into five equal groups spread around the church.
