Another winning program in SOTA sonics from 2L.  All of Morten Lindberg’s efforts on audio-only Blu-ray + SACD have put the lie to Gordon Holt’s old dictum about the better the sonic fidelity the worse the music on the recording. Seeing that this one opened with the rather staid Holberg Suite of Grieg I at first thought it was not one of the best efforts, but the other pieces are less well-known or not known at all and all thoroughly interesting...audaud.com


TRONDHEIMSOLISTENE - in folk style
In Nordic Melodies we find Grieg in passionate play with folk songs. The work sparkles with harmonies and expression, developing a whole story from just a few short stanzas. The Holberg Suite, loved for its beauty and feared for its challenges, is a fusion of European musical tradition and a genuine Norwegian sound palette. The Trondheim Soloists follow up with two brilliant soloists, Emilia Amper on nyckelharpa and Gjermund Larsen on fiddle, in newly commissioned music characterized by the same energy and tenderness. Wild nature and Nordic light are essential elements of the folk style. This lies at the core of the Trondheim Soloist's soul, a meeting between the musical playfulness and passion.

The Trondheim Soloists are regarded one of the top chamber orchestras in the world. Their DIVERTIMENTI was nominated for the 51st GRAMMY Awards as "Best Small Ensemble", "Best Engineered Album" and "Best Surround Sound Album" in 2008. Now IN FOLK STYLE sets a new standard for the performance of Edvard Grieg's "Suite From Holberg's Time" with the intense musical details revealed in this most spectacular surround sound recording ever made.

The Grieg contributions to the disc are presented very winningly indeed, so much so that comparisons to Grieg: Holberg Suite, Music for Strings - Ruud are very difficult to make as the tempo choices are frequently very similar indeed. The differences in hearing that a listener experiences are primarily down to the size of ensemble used. On BIS, we have a full string section of a symphony orchestra whereas here it is a chamber grouping of less than 20 players! The reduced forces provides for greater clarity and a seeming greater nimbleness (although close listening reveals this to be perception rather than reality) which is very infectious. The downside to such clarity and lightness of touch is that a certain gravitas and patina of sound is missing in comparison to the Bergen version - sample both and then choose, neither account will disappoint. In many ways, providing money is not too much of a consideration, neither set of fill-ups should be missed as these are both superlative discs... sa-cd.net
