#1901: Program #1901

New Sounds | May 24, 2010
New Music from Scandinavia is among the most diverse in the world. The music of Nils Petter Molvaer juggles the conventions of pop, rock and funk with skill and ease. Composer and pianist Nils Henrik Asheim is best known for the recording "Engleskyts" from 1994 with the Norwegian soprano Anne Lise Berntsen. We also hear Nils Petter Molvaer's "Solid Ether," Markus Stockhausen and Arild Andersen's "Karta," and Renee Mogensen "Five Seasons."
