5 out of 5 stars Music for Long Winter Nights and any time of day or season!.......2004-11-21

Leif Ove Andsnes is a fine musician who feels an affinity to his Scandinavian roots as he so ably demonstrates in this exquisite recording of Norwegian piano music. Yes, we all know the Grieg pieces and Andsnes plays them with shimmering intensity and flair. But it is the piano works of David Monrad Johansen, Geirr Tveitt, Fartein Valen, and Harald Saeverud that come as special surprises. Each of these composers lived well into the 20th Century and yet their music, while embracing forms of modern idiom, simply 'feels' Nordic. Here are some of the more ethereal melodies and folksong-inspired rhythms in the literature for the solo piano and Andsnes plays them to perfection.Another fine aspect of this generous recording is the engineering choices of allowing enough silence between pieces to allow the air to breathe around the one last performed and inhale, ready for the next. This is a very special album of new music that should encourage other pianists (and audiences) to pay closer attention to Norwegian composers. Recommended. Grady Harp, November 2004

5 out of 5 stars Gorgeous.......2003-12-04

I read an article about Leif Ove Andsnes in "The Economist", of all places, which called him one of the "most interesting" pianists today. Now I know why. His performance of the nine pieces by Grieg on this CD is totally liquid, effortless, MORE perfect than snowfall. I've heard some fantastic Grieg performances, but this is the best by far.

The most interesting tracks on the disc, though, are actually Geirr Tveitt's "Fifty Folktunes from Hardanger". Tveitt based these songs on folk melodies he collected up in northern Norway (his native region) around the time of the German occupation, and they're full of some of the melancholy he must have felt during the war. They're also, as you would expect, full of snow-cloaked mountains, love, stars, dreams, the electric northern sky and, yes, "long, long winter nights". While Tveitt's distinctive idiom is avant-garde enough to be unique (unlike in a lot of settings of folktunes by other composers), it's a lot more accessible than some of Johansen, Valen, and Saeverud's pieces on this disc. I just heard an orchestrated version of the "Hardanger Tunes" on one of Naxos' CDs -- pretty impressive, but even more overpowering in the hands of Andsnes.

5 out of 5 stars Engaging listening.......2002-02-19

A collection of works by Norwegian composers, including several worthy lesser-known works, performed with superlative musicianship by Leif Ove Andsnes. Rhythmic passages churn, fast passages sparkle, lyrical passages sing, to great emotional effect. Andsnes makes his technical proficiency a servant to the compositions. Every composer should be so lucky to have an artist such as this play his works.

5 out of 5 stars for a long long winternight.......2000-11-27

This album shows that Scandinavien music is not only Grieg. Compositions in different styles are performed in a wonderful way by Leif Ove Andsnes. The atmosphere is the same in all pieces: as in a long, long winter night.

5 out of 5 stars LEIF OVE ANDSNES : A PARAGON OF CULTURAL VIRTUE.......2000-01-28

To explore the culture of your homeland with the sophistication and dedication that Andsnes expresses on the album deserves a Nobel Prize. This dynamic young Norwegian pianist escews cultural imperialism and exploitation and gives pride to those who recognise the depth and value of the music that has evolved over time in this seemingly far far land. This collection of Norwegian music, echoing so often the dynamics of the landscape and psychological interrogation of the nature of time ~ long long winter nights, and by implication long long summer days. Andsnes bears witness to the craft and creativity of his forebearers with style beautifully expressing their ideas and ambitions. A wonderfully powerful cd. Enjoy!
