He is one of the few orchestral trombonists (he is principal in the Norwegian Radio Orchestra) who also works extensively as a soloist and in chamber music, and now he's cooked up an appetising meal of trombone music by Norwegian composers Arne Nordheim, Jon \\xd8ivind Ness and \\xd8rjan Matre - something rare on record.\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe trombone is not a common solo instrument, despite having nearly unlimited resources. A highly-trained trombonist like Sverre Riise is able to play surprisingly fast, ranging over an impressive four and a half octaves. The instrument also possesses wide possibilities in dynamics, so for composers just about anything is possible! Still, works written especially for the trombone are few and far between, so Riise asked some of the foremost Norwegian composers to change that.\u003c\/p\u003e \\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\\xd8rjan Matre has a distinct sense of working with sound, which is very clear in '...since I say it now' - the trombonist sings while playing. Known for the humorous undertones in his music, Jon \\xd8ivind Ness's 'The Dangerous Kitten', from 1998, has a title inspired by Frank Zappa's The Dangerous Kitchen. Though Ness is now moving away from his humorous image, 'Moray', named after the carnivorous eel, seems to be an exception: its subtitle should be read with a lisp - 'The piece formerly known as Phekph Piphtolph'.\u003c\/p\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eArne Nordheim is perhaps the best-known Norwegian composer of our time. His own back-ground as a trombonist gave him an advantage in understanding the instrument's techniques. In his legendary pieces 'The Hunting of the Snark' and 'The Return of the Snark' based on Lewis Carroll's nonsense verse, Nordheim uses the trombone to represent the sound a 'snark' might have made if it was real. In addition, 'Vevnad' for cello and electronics is recorded for the first time on this release.\u003c\/p\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003ePersonnel: Sverre Riise (trombone), Emery Cardas (cello), Asbj\\xf8rn Blokkum Fl\\xf8 (electronics), Sigstein Folger\\xf8 (piano), Oslo Sinfonietta, Christian Eggen (conductor)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eArne Nordheim: The Hunting of the Snark - for trombone solo\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVevnad, I\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eII\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIII\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Return of the Snark - for trombone and tape\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\\xd8rjan Matre: '...since I say it now' - for trombone, cello and piano\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJon \\xd8ivind Ness: Moray (The Piece Formerly Known as Phekph Piphtolph)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Dangerous Kitten - for trombone and sinfonietta\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55177350152577,"sku":"351449","price":14.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/51OZsCHqK3L._SL1500.jpg?v=1768191922","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/351449","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
