Mezzo-soprano Arnheiður Eiríksdóttir is on the roster of the Prague State Opera and in recently years has gained considerable acclaim, at home and abroad, for her compelling interpretations and technical mastery. Local critics were much taken with her performance as Oktavian in Strauss's Der Rosenkavalier in Prague last year. In Iceland, operagoers had the chance to enjoy her work in the Icelandic Opera's production of Puccini's Madame Butterfly. This concert sees her performing some of Grieg's most beloved vocal works, showcasing her sonorous voice and depth of emotion. 

The Dane Jesper Busk Sørensen is one of the leading trombonists in Europe and has been a tenured member of the Berlin Philharmonic since 2009. In this concert he performs a brand-new and exciting concerto by one of Denmark's most renowned living composers, Bo Holten. Next to him on the podium is his countryman Thomas Søndergård, who recently took over as chief conductor of the Minnesota Orchestra.

The final piece on the programme is Sibelius's Sixth Symphony, an intimate and stunningly beautiful composition. The composer worked on it for many years while the First World War raged through Europe but did not complete it until 1923. Sibelius himself likened the piece to clean, cold water. The work is a meeting point for his love of Mediaeval and Renaissance music and his own innovative musical language that paved the way for the future. This beguiling and mysterious symphony is the perfect end to a true Nordic feast of a concert.

English

Arnheiður Eiríksdóttir mezzósópran er fastráðin söngkona við Þjóðaróperuna í Prag og hefur að undanförnu vakið mikla athygli fyrir frábæra túlkun og tæknilegt öryggi, bæði hérlendis og erlendis. Þannig hrifust gagnýnendur ytra mjög af frammistöðu hennar sem Oktavian í óperu Strauss Der Rosenkavalier í Prag á síðasta ári en íslenskir óperuunnendur fengu meðal annars að kynnast henni í uppfærslu Íslensku óperunnar á Madama Butterfly eftir Puccini. Hér syngur hún nokkur af dáðustu sönglögum Griegs þar sem hljómmikil rödd hennar og ástríða fær að njóta sín til fulls.

Danski básúnuleikarinn Jesper Busk Sørensen er einn af fremstu básúnuleikurum álfunnar en hann hefur verið fastráðinn hjá Fílharmóníusveit Berlínar frá árinu 2009. Hér leikur hann glænýjan og spennandi konsert eftir eitt helsta samtímatónskáld Danmerkur, Bo Holten, undir stjórn landa síns Thomas Søndergård, sem nýlega tók við sem aðalhljómsveitarstjóri Sinfóníuhljómsveitarinnar í Minnesota. 

Lokaverk tónleikanna er sjötta sinfónía Sibeliusar. Hún er í senn innileg og ægifögur en tónskáldið vann að henni um langt árabil meðan fyrri heimsstyrjöldin skók Evrópu og lauk ekki við hana fyrr en 1923. Sjálfur líkti Sibelius verkinu við hreint, kalt vatn en í verkinu mætast hrifning hans á tónlist miðalda og endurreisnar og frumleg tónhugsun sem varðaði leiðina til framtíðarinnar. Þessi þokkafulla og leyndardómsfulla sinfónía er glæsilegur lokahnykkur á tónleikum sem með sanni má kalla norræna veislu.

*Tónleikarnir eru u.þ.b. tvær klst. með tuttugu mínútna hléi.
