Description

In 2023, OPUS KLASSIK awarded Eldbjørg Hemsing its »Classic Without Limits« prize. It is an apt label that could also be used to describe the promising career of this outstanding Norwegian violinist. Her discography includes everything from Shostakovich and Grieg to Max Richter and Tan Dun. On her award-winning »Arctic« recording, she makes a profound socio-political statement by creating a soundscape that celebrates the magical and fragile natural beauty of her majestic homeland as it comes under the threat of climate change. »Music cannot solve the major challenges the world faces. However, it has a tremendous emotional strength which we don’t experience when listening to complex political discussions.« Similar sentiments are also at the heart of Eldbjørg’s latest »Colours of Bach« project in which she explores the composer’s incredible melodic richness as a defining feature of music from the Baroque era. Original works performed alongside both minimalistic and more flamboyant arrangements reveal the essence of his music in a new light.
