Sigurd
Lie [1871-1904]
KRISTIANSAND SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA
Terje Boye Hansen condctor | Frode Olsen bassbaritone
| Terje Tønnesen violin
Symfoni i a-moll | Konsertstykke for fiolin og
orkester | Wartburg
[Recorded in the gorgeous Kristiansand Cathedral by
Lindberg Lyd AS]
Sigurd Lie is best known for his gem of a song, Sne (Snow). But what of
the rest of his output, does that merit attention? Indeed it does;
Sigurd Lie’s music sounds fresh and highly original, a continuing
enrichment of our musical world – when we are given the opportunity to
hear it.
His musical palette is one of great variety. In the ”Wartburg” ballade
he gives a colourful, captivating glimpse of the Middle Ages in
Germany, and in the concert piece based on the folk tune ”Huldre aa’n
Elland” he evokes a plaintive image of Norwegian nature where wild and
sensitive qualities are expressed in the virtuoso violin playing.
It is certainly unfair to associate Lie’s work only with the cold of
Sne! The zenith of Lie’s oeuvre, his Symphony in A minor, does
certainly open in harsh ”viking” style, and the music is draped in
frost mist, but then we hear the clarinet enter solo – enrapturing and
tender as a mild, spring breeze – there can be no doubt that the snow
is melting!
