Schola Cantorum has through the last decade proved themselves to be one of the finest chamber choirs in Norway. The choir was founded by the composer and conductor Knut Nystedt in 1964, and has given valuable musical experience to generations of Norwegian musicians. Affiliated with the University of Oslo, Department of Musicology, the choir recruits most of their singers from this institution, and the Norwegian Academy of Music. The repertoire consists of a mix of contemporary and older choir music, as well as folk music arrangements. In recent years the choir has increasingly focused on commissioned works from young Nordic composers. In 2007 Schola Cantorum won the prestigious "Let the Peoples Sing" EBU-award.

Iver Kleive, organ

"The organ music is in a sense one of the main characters in the motion picture TROUBLED WATER. Possessing a distinct personality and playing a unique role the music interacts with the drama and influences the other characters. Working on the script brought me to Iver Kleive. His experience in church music and the influence of jazz was a perfect match for the characters. Recording Simon & Garfunkel's Bridge Over Troubled Water in Bergen Cathedral left a powerful and lasting impression on me." - Erik Poppe, director

Iver Kleive was born in Skien, Norway in 1949. He completed a degree in church music at the Oslo conservatoire in 1972 and from 1973-76 he studied at the Staatliche Hochschule für Musik in Munich, where he took the "Solistenprüfung" as a solo performer on the organ.

Iver Kleive gave his debut performance as organist in Oslo in 1978, and was pianist with the Norwegian Radio Orchestra for ten years. Additionally he played solo synthesizer with the Oslo Philharmonic Orchestra under conductor Mariss Jansons. Kleive describes himself as an improvising musician who likes to alternate between classical, pop, folk and jazz. Since 1972 he has to date contributed on some two hundred recordings as a session musician, composer and arranger. The organ and church music remain, however, his main instrument and musical fundament.

GRIEG Piano Concerto

Awarded MULTICHANNEL DISC OF THE MONTH by American Audiophile Audition.

Awarded BEST REISSUE runners-up at THE INTERNATIONAL PIANO AWARDS 2009.

Five star review in BBC Music Magazine: Rolf Gupta and the Kristiansand Symphony Orchestra is left the rather tricky task of trying to accompany a pianist who died nearly fifty years ago. In this, they do a splendid job, following Grainger's fluid playing faultlessly so that the result sound natural.
