Lasse Thoresen: Journey Through Three Valleys: Symphonic concerto for violoncello and orchestra (2008)
Kaija Saariaho: Nocturne
Amalie Stalheim – cello
Ingar Bergby – conductor
The second of two 1 hour Ultima concerts by Oslo-Filharmonien features a deep dive into a musical imaginary landscape, the cello concerto by Norwegian composer Lasse Thoresen, entitled Journey Through Three Valleys.
For Thoresen the valley is a metaphor for a state of mind – a mental landscape where the sides are so steep that you can’t see over the horizon.
Young Norwegian cello star Amalie Stalheim is the soloist navigating this wild and disorienting terrain, which was premiered in 2008.
Produced by Oslo-Filharmonien.
