Grieg, Haugtussa, Vinje, Ibsen

Gramophone Magazine wrote of Marianne Beate Kielland: “The mezzo-soprano is quite outstanding: strong, firm, sensitive in modulations, imaginative in her treatment of words, with a voice pure in quality, wide in range, and unfalteringly true in intonation.” Considered today one of Scandinavia’s leading singers, she performs regularly on major concert stages in Europe and Japan and this CD follows on from her previous partnering with Nils Anders Mortenson on Lawo (LWC1033 - Fruh), this is a new recording of the works of Grieg, Garborg, Vinje and Ibsen.
