About

The three works on these recordings seem to traverse, in sequence, three of the primary realms of human experience: Body, Spirit and Mind. However, as Carl Nielsen pointed out in relation to his second symphony, "The Four Temperaments", the principal characters of each movement are, at times, interspersed with hints of the other temperaments. The same is the case with "Bumerang", "Rabalder" and "Svev", the three remarkable compositions by Knut Vaage on this CD. There are elements of the intellectual in the very physical "Bumerang". "Rabalder" gives the impression of being the most physical of the three, until we realize it is set out as a spiritual journey from noise to silence and their attending emotional states. The physical and the spiritual visit themselves upon the predominantly cerebral "Svev".

This is ultimately refreshing music—a surprising adjective, perhaps, but it works on various levels. It’s refreshing to have music that challenges; refreshing to have music that plays with our expectations, that takes abstract concepts and translates them effectively into music, that talks of journeys from darkness to light, of journeys from the earthbound to the airborne.
