nosag CDVD 142DUO GELLAND - Dillon Traumwerk (DVD)

In this experimental art music DVD Duo Gelland performs music by James Dillon in a concert-like situation for Johan Ramström´s single camera. It´s a performance that takes place in real time in a physical place. The performers stomp and breathe, yet instead of making the audience merely see what they hear, Johan Ramström has involved the eye in a choreography - literally taking the camera for a swirl about the church, accidentally even bumping into the performers - the camera becomes a third member of the ensemble.
One night wonder; Is the camera´s dance due to convulsive insights borne out of the music? Or is the camera´s wide eye catching the music in a magical spell, forming it, coaxing it on all the way to the end?

This is a new way of filming art music performances!

nosag CD 158GÖRAN AGDUR / SEMMY STAHLHAMMER - hands folded

On this CD composer and pianist Göran Agdur continues his cooperation with violinist Semmy Stahlhammer with whom he previously released the album Dawn Earth. Similar to Dawn Earth (nosag CD 051), you will find a mixture of different character pieces for violin and piano. Some of these pieces bring out a folkloristic nordic tone, but here is also waltzes and music which might have been inspired by Romani music.

All stylistic comparisons aside, this music is ultimately very personal and specifically Agdurian one could say. The melodies are strikingly songful and you almost get an impression of the violin pronouncing invisible lyrics. Sometimes we are moved to the telling of a fairy tale, an atmosphere of once upon a time… However these shadings always gather together in the beauty of the violin melody; this expression is always at the center.

nosag CD 067Peter Schuback/Davor Kajfes - IMPOSITIONS

This recording was made in Stockholm on the 23rd of October, 2000 at Radio Sweden's Studio 2. The musicians had no preconceptions and did not even discuss what they should play. An 76 minutes long tape was recorded, out of which a selection of 60 minutes is here presented.

Davor Kajfes and Peter Schuback have been working together for two years with this kind of direct creation, musicianship, composing, or what can even be called improvisation. They prefer the term "impositions".

Impositions are something like improvisations. These words seek to express the possible as it is making itself possible. Improvisations can be heard as such only as long as they are heard improvisationally and this means that they must be heard without a comprehensive understanding of improvisation. They cannot be heard as a kind of improvisationism, that is, as part of any attempt to construct a system of improvisation.

nosag CD 091SOLVEIG FARINGER/LENA JOHNSON - Peterson-Berger och Poeterna

It is commonly acccepted that Wilhelm Peterson-Berger (1867-1942) is one of Swedish music history’s best known personalities - as composer, critic, cultural debater, opera playwright, translator etc. The selection on this record takes us from the composer’s very earliest songs (late 1880’s) to the last Karlfeldt songs which were written for the poet’s final collection of poems Hösthorn from 1927.

Soprano Solveig Faringer´s versatility is evidenced by a career that has alternated since her debut in 1973 between different genres such as chamber music, romances, opera, sacred music, and folk music.
Pianist Lena Johnson grew up in the province of Jämtland, and was therefore already as a child exposed to the music of Peterson-Berger, which has since then been an oft-recurring part of her repertoire.
